Broken AUX button; Finding a replacement switch

2008-12-14 Thread Simon Comeau Martel

Happened to me before. Are you sure the switch is broken? Mine was just loose. The legs are tiny. I used a soldering iron with a very small tip. Good luck! Sven On Sun, 2008-12-14 at 06:50 -0500, Simon Comeau Martel wrote: > Hi, > > I dropped my FreeRunner one time too many, and the AUX button

I noticed this as of today in SHR, but it must be evident for all Angstroem based distributions: in /etc/init.d/rc in function startup there is a case: when the script to be called ends with "*.sh" then it is sourced instead of called - with fantastic results when the script contains an "exit" stat
