Code:

./run.sh: line 5:  9826 Illegal instruction: 4  sshpass -f /var/mobile/password.txt
mv: cannot stat `/var/mobile/*.deb': No such file or directory

Do you know what these error messages are? You can't allow your script to have unresolved error messages.

------------------------------------

There is no point in using exec unless you have some special reason for using that command. So yes, just run the shell script.

"After" ls -ld from script:

Code:

ls -l from command line:

The *.deb files have the same file sizes and dates, but are a day old, so little hard to draw conclusion. It would be interesting to see exact date to verify really same files being examined, something like ls -l --time-style=full-iso if that works there.

But the Ac, Brc, and Cleanup directories have different timestamps, ownerships, and permissions (and # of links, after permissions), all of which are unexpected. For example, compare Ac directory in the two listings:

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 4 root   mobile   136 May  5 01:21 /var/mobile/Media/Downloads/Ac
drwxrwxrwx 5 mobile mobile   170 May  5 01:25 Ac/

You need to look around and figure out why the difference in the two listings. Two possibilities I can think of: 1) Some other process is changing the Ac directory after the script runs and before you examine it. 2) Somehow two parallel directories, the script is operating on one of the parallel directories, you are looking at the other one. Your posted code indicates you are in the same directory, but the different timestamp, owner and permissions suggests you are not.

-------------------------------

I don't know the policy about running root or some other user on the iphone. root should be able to do anything, but again there might be some difference on iphone. It would be best if whoever owns the files runs the script. I would think all the files would owned by mobile, and mobile would run the script.
