I have the 2.0 final (developer) and Hijack 335 and having this issue:

[hijack]
;@EXEC /usr/local/bin/emphatic
;@EXEC /usr/local/bin/empacman
;@EXEC /usr/local/bin/emptris

This is in my config.ini yet only emphatic is on the Hijack menu. I verified these programs are located in /usr/local/bin... any ideas?

As always, look at the serial logs..

How would I do that?

See here

I verified these programs are located in /usr/local/bin...

Did you also verify that they are tagged as executable?

How would I do that?

Like this.

Ooo, Cushman-san gets the pebble!

Actually I think I know what's going on.. I can't synchronize anything right now for some reason. I was just uploading a bunch of music which worked awhile ago. Then I tried entering those lines and was getting stuck on that. I reopened the player database and the config.ini and those lines I just mentioned aren't even there. Even if I try re-entering them and Synchronizing, they don't stay. I'll check the serial log here in a min and get back to you guys.

*laughs*

Even if I try re-entering them and Synchronizing, they don't stay.

This is a classic symptom of the player being unable to unmount/remount the drives as read-only or read-write because there's a live program running from /drive0 at synchronize time. That folder you put those programs in... is it on /drive0?

/me goes to beef up the FAQ entry about FSCK...

OK I saw the FAQ entry and I'm trying those steps but I'm running into this problem.

I hit 'q' to get to the shell prompt. RO worked, but when I do 'unmount /dev/hda4' it says:

bash: unmount: command not found

Am I doing this right?

bash: unmount: command not found

Check your spelling very very carefully, one letter at a time. This goes for all Unix commands.

Remember that Unix commands aren't always spelled the same as the english words that they represent. Look CLOSELY at those instructions in the FAQ...

Geez.. I'm an idiot... haha

I work in the Knowledge Management arena in my company and we have a phrase that we use often when we are developing a new knowledge base or knowledge tool. I think that this applies to a lot of your posts, Tony:

Leading them to the door of their own understanding

Well I followed that list of commands and after the SYNC command I unplugged the power cord and cycled power but I still can't synchronize. Here's a paste of the serial log after I first started up. For some reason, in Hyperterminal when i scrolls up beyond the screen the text gets garbled somewhat so hopefully you can see something in this:

Eeew. That doesn't look healthy. Have you been having other drive trouble?

One tries, one tries.

Probably no coincidence that we write training software where I work.

Hold up.. I did a capture to file and here it is correct:

No other drive trouble that I could tell. Though I've always had issues from day 1 with issues like synching a lot of files at once.. I would always have to synch some files again for them to remain on the EMPEG.

Kill emphatic before you sync.

It's a good idea to prefix your EXEC lines with ";@DC" so that they only run in the car;

Yep that fixed it. Thanks!
