New Erica Utility: doPrompt

doPrompt is the latest member to join the Erica Utilities. doPrompt opens an alert window with a string you supply and prompts the user to enter a text reply. The utility prints the result to stdout. (For Greg Hartstein by request).

We have trouble with your utilities. On our iPhones every bins on /var/root/bin say Permission denied. Wich makes no sense, because the rights permissions are set to rwxr-xr-x to every executable in this folder. What do we wrong?

HOW DO I RUN THE ERICA COMMAND LINE UTILITIES?
They are not “applications” in the traditional sense. They are meant to be run via ssh at the UNIX command line. Please check out an introductory UNIX reference to learn about doing this and to find out what a UNIX path refers to.
I GET COMMAND NOT FOUND OR PERMISSION ERRORS WHEN I RUN THE UTILITIES
Make sure that your /etc/fstab does not contain a noexec for your media partition. If so, edit that bit out. Then make sure your files are correctly installed in /var/root/bin and that they are enabled to be executable (chmod +x, or chmod 755.) Finally, ensure the path is accurate. Try running /var/root/bin/snap2album, for example rather than snap2album and see if that fixes things.

Thnx. It was the fstab. Now it works.
