Scheduled Scripting App - Scheduled Reboots, etc... Phone Prioritizer App

[jinx10000]

This is the phone prioritizer app for the people that are looking for it.

As title states this allows you to schedule scripts to run at specific times and time intervals.

Place scripts you want to run into the following files in the folder /sdcard/phonePrioritizer:
reboot.txt - Runs one time nightly at scheduled time (placing reboot in this file will reboot your phone on cupcake but not on hero)
script.txt - Runs at scheduled intervals (5 minutes to 24 hours)
afterboot.txt - Runs one time after each reboot

Open the phonePrioritizer app and set options by pressing menu. (Buttons on main page of app only control the script.txt script, rest of the scripts are controlled in preferences.)

!Don't put the word reboot into script.txt or afterboot.txt for obvious reasons!

Great job. I'll play with this when I have more time.

 

[jinx10000]

Mike, Thanks for the script.

Hope I didn't spoil your surprise on your awesome script. I figured I would still release this in case someone has a need for it.

It is working well for me so far.

I think we both got spoiled by that damn BFS working. It makes my stuff useless if the ROM has it. There are a few ROMs that don't have it yet so it has a little life left in it.

 

[jinx10000]

LOL. I hadn't heard that. That is too bad.

I had heard that your scripts were working great in xrom and Jacxheroski 1.8. I thought both of those had your script and bfs in them. Of course I haven't looked much today since I have been working on this program.

I guess people can still use my program that want an automated reboot.

Before, it would take at least 3 rings on the caller before I see a notification and my phone rings. When i installed this, my screen showed an incoming call on the first ring on the caller. My phone started ringing on the second ring on the caller though. I'm wondering what adjustment I should make to make my phone ring as soon as I see a notification? I used the default script.txt. thanks

Turn off your vibrate on ring. That delays the ringtone. Also the second call usually comes in faster.

Cool that helped. Thanks to your awesome script miketaylor00 and your scheduler jinx10000.

Updated.

1.7 had a problem where unchecking the Enable Scheduled Reboot would disable the wrong script.

Sorry for those that downloaded it. It is fixed in the newest version.

 

[jinx10000]

I believe this is the final update. Got it the way I like it.

Cleaned up the code a little.
Now runs completely in the background. No toast when script runs.

 

[jinx10000]

I really think this is the final version. lol

I had left some unnecessary timers in 2.0. --- Run script wait a few seconds then kill service. Was not sure if this was necessary when I first started making this program. I doubt for those with earlier versions that it will make any difference. --- Doesn't seem necessary so removed. I thought I had removed them in 2.0.

I have a question for Java/android programmers. The code that I found to call the services is :

mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getService(AlarmService.this, 1394, new Intent(AlarmService.this, AlarmService_Service.class), 0);

timeSet = calendar.getTimeInMillis();

AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);

am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, timeSet, whateverTime, mAlarmSender);

In order to setup multiple schedules I have created multiple services and called them in mAlarmSender variable. For ex, AlarmService_Service, AlarmReboot_Service, etc... However, these do almost the same thing. How can I combine them into the same service and distinguish the exact purpose for which it is being called?

Do all the scripts run as su? or only the reboot one?

 

[jinx10000]

all scripts run as su.

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
...
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
os.flush();

 

[jinx10000]

Uploaded source if anyone is interested.

The program appears to be fully functional.

 

[innerspace]

Thanks so much for this.

afterboot.txt is exactly what I was looking for a few days back. Now I can finally have an IM app launch at boot, might actually use the thing now lol.

Nice work, appreciate the app.

Great job with the app
If anyone needs a command to kill a certain task on startup (AK Notepad was starting up for me all the time), do the following:
Type in Terminal

ps

This will display all of the processes that are currently running.
Find out the PID of your process you want to kill; mine was 491.
Plug it in to where x is:

kill -9 x

So in my case, I typed:

kill -9 491

And it killed AK Notepad from processes. So if you want to auto-kill a process, that's what you could do - put kill -9 [your PID here] into the autostart script after every reboot.
Hope this helps.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe the PID is a constant, i.e. it changes.

Yes, just realized that too
Haha oh well. Maybe someone someday will find use in this instead of buying/downloading a task manager app

I use GScript for a lot of various scripts that are apps. For example, instead of Clear Me for $1 (which I already bought) I just use GScript to clear my necessary caches. But I found that for task managing purposes I used Advanced Task Manager which pretty much allows you to do just about anything. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and pay for an app. I'd love to see this thread become huge because I LOVE GScript.

if you need a dynamic PID try the below:

pidof com.akproduction.notepad

so you could create a small script

to store it then run the kill on the variable as i cant seem to get the kill to run it in single quote i get a bad pid message
