Hi I heard that you can write cron job into plist and put it to JB iPhone /Library/LaunchDaemons folder in plist format
I would like to backup the photo folder every 300 seconds, so I put a com.backup.plist like this into /Library/LaunchDaemons folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.backup</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/bin/cp</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>-u</string>
<string>/private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/*.*</string>
<string>/private/var/backup</string>
</array>
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>300</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
I have created a folder of /private/var/backup with access right of 777 mobile:mobile
I rebooted the iPhone, however, the script just doesn't work
Does the failure refer to the "cp" command access right? or should I change the /private/var/backup folder access right to something else?
btw I'm running iOS 4.3.3 Jailbreak iPhone 4
Many thanks for reading
