I would like to use the above in a root daemon, but I noticed that my old
root daemon that worked in Lubuntu 14.04 LTS didn't work when I pasted it
into the special file that you just mentioned: /etc/rc.local (before the exit
0). Is there any reason why it doesn't work in Trisquel 7.0?
My root daemon:
#!/bin/sh -e
while true
do
echo "$(cat /home/a/dim_value)" >
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
sleep 5
done
exit 0
{This way is convenient since all I have to do is execute a script (non-sudo)
to change the value in /home/a/dim_value, and the root daemon will echo
whatever the contents of this file is into
/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness. In Lubuntu 14.04 it worked
prefectly. }
