Hi,

OK, I was have trouble getting anywhere. Android itself won't accept all the commands and will simply ignore the sleep command.
So I tried hooking my phone up to a Ubuntu VirtualBox. Unfortunately the VirtualBox is unable to properly mount the phone.

So I now created a live USB stick with Ubuntu on it. I am able to access the phone and all my files.

However, when I execute the commands, I get an error message, that the the "regular file" cannot be created. It creates all the folders/subfolders but is unable to write any files.

I can open the drive manually, create and delete folders etc., so access seems to be there, but why can't it write any files?

Does th system have to be a properly installed Linux? Won't it work on a LiveCD-type system?

NAME

       phones - File containing the remote host phone number database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/phones

       The /etc/phones file contains the system-wide private phone numbers for the tip(1) program.

DESCRIPTION

       This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain privileged information.  The format of the file is a series of lines of the form: sys-
       temname	 phone-number

       where systemname is defined in the /etc/remote file and phone-number is the system phone number terminated only by a comma or by the end of
       the line.  Only one phone number per line is permitted.	However, if more than one line in the file contains the same system name, tip will
       attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.

EXAMPLES

       The following example shows the entry in /etc/phones for the system, zeus: zeus		    9=555-9898

       In this example, the = sign (or an asterisk) forces the autocall units to pause and wait for a second dial  tone,  when	going  through	an
       exchange.  The = is required by the DF02-AC (an asterisk would be required by the BIZCOMP 1030).
