I've just had a connection drop during a wireless sync, and the only laptop in the house at the moment has no serial port... am I doomed to "Checking Disk Integrity" every time I sync until I get hold of a PC with a serial port, or is there another way of doing

ro
umount /dev/hda4
swapon /swapfile
fsck -fay /
fsck -fay /dev/hda4
swapoff /swapfile
sync

without using a serial cable?

In theory, you could probably put the disk check commands together as a script file, ftp the script file to the server and modify (ftp upload or emplode) the config.ini to include an @exec-once. You will need to remember to clean up when you are done, otherwise you will again be doomed to disk checks at every boot...

Of course, you might be able to execute a shell from FTP, but I have not tried it yet...

The shell-over-FTP idea won't work.

But the script might work. It can be run directly from within FTP:

SITE EXEC scriptname

Haven't tried it, though. I suspect the player binary might get in the way (again! -- gotta fix that).

Cheers

why not use @EXEC_MENU and have it on command?
