I'm working on a fix for this right now. If, within the plugin, I can figure out the plugin's real, actual installed location (which, oddly enough, isn't that easy in perl) then, if the user is willing to enter their system account password into a form on the help/setup page, I *should* be able to do a system call something like this: system echo $password | sudo -S path_to_setup_script ; ..and, voila, setup complete. And all without having to make the users do any of that icky terminal stuff. Mobetta, don't you think? The real question is: will users feel comfortable typing their system username and password into a web page of a plugin they've just downloaded from the internet? For those who know better, the answer will be "NO!" So, for those folks, I'll need to provide the terminal instructions as well. epoch1970;432592 Wrote: > The block/unblock on login works if the server's CLI is on the standard > port.

I'll try to remember to add a note on this. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
