Yeah, it's not -slow--slow (maybe 20 seconds or so? - not sure, haven't timed it), but you have to keep in mind that pCP is usually booted from an SD card and the backup goes back to that SD card. On an older Pi, with a slow SD card, it would probably take longer. That extra 20s goes against the 'ethos' of pCP, which is to have a small, light, and very fast system, regardless of hardware. Including the ngrok executable in the backup didn't seem to cause any other problems, but as a pCP user it's something I'd personally want to avoid. Your shell script seems like a nice idea. I looked at the links to the binaries on the ngrok site (e.g. https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip), because a wget command would be better than downloading it to a computer and then uploading to the Pi, but all those random characters in the link give the impression that it might not always be the same link. Aside from that, the shell script could download the binary, build the tcz, create the yml file, and also personalise the startup script, which could be included in the tcz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
