Description

A daemon for launching programs on the Kobo e-readers.

Installation

Extract the archive given on the release page to the root of the SD card:

unzip fmon-VERSION.zip -d SD_ROOT

This command also needs to be issued after each firmware update.

Add a shortcut

To create a shortcut for a script named plato.sh, you should place the script in SD_ROOT/.adds/plato and the icon (named plato.png) in SD_ROOT/icons.

Add the icon to a collection, set the view to List View and open the icon.

On the next restart, opening the icon will execute the corresponding script.

Remove a shortcut

Remove the corresponding icon within Kobo's environment.

Replace an icon

Instead of overwriting the existing icon, you'll need to remove it first, within Kobo's environment.
