Have v.1.27 installed and I have SSH off after reboot. If I try to put SSH on to connect Cyberduck it wont work. Works fine if I use NetServices. If I turn on SSH on after reboot I can then turn on SSH as normal and it will work with Cyberduck.

Is it just my phone, or is it a known bug?

Updated to v1.31 and still the same problem.

I just learned of this today and fixed it today. Unfortunately the way it must work is that if you enable SSH, it stays on now even after reboot. If you disable SSH, it only comes back on after reboot if that switch for "ssh after reboot" is set to ON. You should get a push of 1.32 for this fix. Sorry about that!

do you think your add more choices to toggle so i can get rid of NETSERVICES.....I LIKE BOSS BETTER BUT IT DONT DO ALL I NEED

I have added a configuration screen. You can now add any service you want in the GUI. But you need to know some things about it. You need to know:
1) Command to launch to start the service (if one doesnt exist, create an .sh script for it and use that)
2) Command to launch to stop the service (can be something like /usr/bin/killall xxxx)
3) process name to look for to determine if service is running (will use ps command for this)
4) Icon if you want one then create a 20x20 icon with the same name as the service title and upload it to /Applications/BossPrefs.app dir.
You can also create your own services by bypassing the GUI and creating a text file. The text file goes in /Applications/BossPrefss.app/services dir. The name of the text file is the name of the service that will be displayed in the GUI. I made one for enabling and disabling of samba. Here is what is inside of it:

/usr/bin/smb.sh start
/usr/bin/smb.sh stop
smbd
/Applications/BossPrefs.app/samba.png

Settings in the text file explained:
- My script to start samba is "/usr/bin/smb.sh start". I can run this from termvt100 for example. When I click the "ON" to enable the service, this will get run from the GUI.
- My script to stop samba is: "/usr/bin/smb.sh stop". I can run this from termvt100 and samba shuts down. When I click the "OFF" in the GUI to disable the service, this runs.
- smbd is what I look for to determine if samba is running or not. I use this command from the BossPrefs app for it: "ps x | grep smbd | grep -v grep". When samba is running you can type this into termvt100 and see the smbd process. When it's not running nothing will be returned.
- Finally, /Applications/BossPrefs.app/samba.png is the icon I use for samba. You don't need an icon, but it looks cooler.

If anyone wants help creating his own service let me know or catch me on #iphone on efnet.

How do I replace SMBPrefs with Installer. I'm on 1.1.2 firmware and don't have a use for it. Thanks!

I left installer icon out since I don't consider it a preferences icon like the other 3. However, you are about the 5th person that asked for it, so I will add it in as an option in a coming release. By the way, summerboard runs great on 1.1.2. I have never heard of someone that didnt run summerboard I'm a nut for themes. I couldnt live without it. Stock looking iPhone is so blah.

Can you add Rogers phone settings fro EDGE as an option?

I think you are being plagued by the box each time you enable EDGE because your EDGE is either a) not configured in the system (settings, general, network, EDGE) and saved, or b) your EDGE settings are screwed up now by installing 1.1.1 EDGE fix or maybe iworld settings are wrong (or iworld needs to be run). I would be happy to help you troubleshoot this. Once the EDGE settings are entered correctly, this pop up should not bug you any longer. When you enable EDGE, the system EDGE settings are restored. When you disable it, they are overwritten with DISABLED. You only get that pop up when there are no system EDGE settings to restore.

I gave detailed answer in pm. That said I can tell you I done have this problem when using netservices app. I don't keep both installed at same time for fear of interference.

p. S. I took a look at iworld and oddly enough Canada wasn't listed. Guess we aren't a country LOL.

You can have both installed at the same time. There is no interference. What firmware are you running? Does netservices ask you to configure canadian preferences or does it just seem to know what to do? Just adding a canadian selection is putting a bandaid on the real problem. I don't see why your candian EDGE settings should be any different than my TMobile EDGE settings, for example, and I am not having any such issues. So I'd like to get to the bottom of it properly.

To everyone else: I updated the code today and have also put out several plugins in my installer that are preconfigured services. These are no different than what you could add yourself if you knew the right things to add in the configuration GUI. Anyhow, only install the ones you need because each additional plugin takes some time when bossprefs is loading to parse the text files and determine if the service is running.

[KristofferS]

I can't figure out how to add the Mobile Safari Download Plug-in .. I'm basically just trying to get BossPrefs to run the same script as NetServices run but can't really get it to. Also I'm not sure how it would remember on/off state since there is no process running.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Thanks for a nice app, it brings together all the setting under one icon which is a neat thing.

however I'm using 1.33 and still have a problem with Edge, basically each time I stop it and re start I have to type in my APN under other. I'm using o2 in the UK and the APN is mobile.o2.co.uk can you fix this so I dont have to type it in each time I restart the service.

I notice when I stop it it puts DISABLED in the APN but its not restoring it properly

help appreicated

That is Same problem I have.
Markmon am on 1.1.2
netservices did same too until I spoke to Greg and I guess he added in the configuratin files the rogers won as an option and then it was fine.
I believe tmobile and Att settings are natively there so it works for you. For other providers however we have to add the son manually unless you do something in configuration. Greg hartsteins would be a valuable resource if you both could collaborate.

I will try to look into this some more but TMobile is definitely not built in. You have to configure it in the main settings GUI in Settings, General, Network, EDGE. Do you have a contact for Greg?

[canadoc]

I am not sure since I don't know how to code. However I remember looking at some plist and seeing tmobile in it with AT&T in the edge settings.
As for greg Hartstein he has a repository for iPhone called copycoders and goes by Hartstein here on MMI.
he is the one responsible for putting out netservices.app

i plan to add an edge configuration screen anyway because in some circumstances there is no way to enter the edge config APN data. This should solve it I would think. But try something else. On your phone if you configure edge then reboot the phone without loading services app, does edge come up properly configured after reboot?

Can you add Rogers phone settings fro EDGE as an option?
There is alarge canadian contingent using the iphone unlocked. Your program is great, but for the moment netservices app crator actually added in the settings those for rogers. It saves me the trouble to have to maually type back in the apn settings.

I have put out v 1.34 that should disable EDGE in the manner that netservices uses. It no longer puts DISABLED in the APN. I worked with netservices developer on it. (Turns out we hang out together and I didnt realize it).

[canadoc]

Hey 1.3.4 works great now. No more EDGE issues.
I never had a reboot problem using EDGE settings in 1.1.2
only in 1.1.1.

Glad it works. There is a 1.1.1 EDGE Fix in my installer for the issue with EDGE and 1.1.1 if anyone needs it.

Because there are no other icons made for it. Either create your own icon, or wait for the theme creators to include it

I just posted a new version of bossprefs that allows you to add your own apps to the dock. Hope you all like it.
