Run in Background on iOS4 #232

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Can I please request if MobileTerminal has the ability to be run in the 
background. On iOS4 make use of the multitasking feature.

I am trying to run tcpdump on the 3G interface to trouble shoot why it's 
dropping a PDP connection once authentication on a customer APN.  I am unable 
to capture this as I setup the trace and go to activate the data session 
Mobileterminal is closed.
If I do it the other way around, setup the data connection to a private APN, 
the connection is torn down before I can get mobileterminal running.

A workaround would be to install Backgrounder and enable MT to be backgrounded 
seperately.
Not nice, but at least something untill the fix is commited

Another workaround in the mean time would be to use screen.

You are missing the point here, really.

Just copy the attached file in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/, chmod it to 
0644, chown it to 0:0 and "launchctl start tcpdump".  Unless you feel like 
rebooting, you may need to "launchctl load tcpdump" before starting the service.

And don't tell anyone I told you. :)

For some reason it stays active with a quite old build I got from Saurik.
It's his 3.x build with a hacked up iOS 4 support.

However, processes which are backgrounded by the OS itself often get eaten by 
the garbage collector.
You better don't rely to it

What does the tcdump file do? How does it work?

I don't see what exactly this has to do with this issue.
