Hi Matthias The other day my phone became very warm and on closer inspection the
unity8 process was running 100% on one cpu.
I rebooted the phone and after that is was fine.
Something like that might drain your battery rather quick. You could run a script to monitor the battery temp and capacity:
while sleep 60; do date cat /sys/devices/platform/battery/power_supply/battery/capacity cat /sys/devices/platform/battery/power_supply/battery/temp
done And if discharging goes faster then a certain value ( 10%/h ? ) you
could text *your* phone so you can start investigation with top if a
process is running at 100%.
( /usr/share/ofono/scripts/send-sms /ril_0 yourphonenumber "Start
investigation" 0 ) Kind regards,
Ed

Hi Ed,


I just tried the following command, but it doesn't execute in background:


nohub /bin/bash -c "sleep 20 && /usr/share/ofono/scripts/ipts/send-sms /ril_0 0123456789 \"test msg\" 0" &


i was starting it via the terminal app. Have you got any glue whats the problem?
