<div>I'm probably doing something stupid, but I'm trying to write a home plug-in that executes a shell script (which, in turn, will eventually launch some application). I hacked the code from one of the nokia 'hello-world-app' programs and except for struggling with the gnu build tools (and my own ignorance) things are going well.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My code looks like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "pplay", (char *)0);<br> </div>
<div>When I do this within a callback, as soon as the button is clicked the screen turns white and the script - and application - runs, but the UI is broken - hard to explain, but it's not drawn completely and the only function that seems to work is to close the program. At which point, the 770 reboots.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(my feeble mind says it must be related to the [l]eave part of execl())</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any tips on how to execute a shell script (or any binary) from a maemo application?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
