After the iso burned i tried to see what happens (just after the time indicated ofc) : the files are not there and seems not created at all, and when i tipe

Code: Select all

this should work out of the box. if it does not then please show me your 'scheduled_action=' parameter from the kiosk config.

how to give multiple custom tasks on the wizard
create script containing multiple commands and run it through scheduled tasks

btw: in your sample you should use:

Code: Select all

hostname >/tmp/test.txt 2>&1
please search on google how redirection works under linux (Rava posted in also on this forum).
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Hi Fanthom,

Thanks for the "running script" idea :)

Actually i tested both, the one as shown in the picture and the redirection you recommended, none of them worked.

I am a little bit busy today, i will post more details tomorrow.
