Useful usage of Termux:Tasker(tudo wrapper)

[Dimlos]

Normally, when using Termux:Tasker, you need to prepare a script and specify a file to use it, but by setting up tudo, you can write code directly in Arguments.

4.export termux_bin_path="/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin"; export owner="$(stat -c "%u" "$termux_bin_path")"; chown "$owner:$owner" "$termux_bin_path/tudo" && chmod 700 "$termux_bin_path/tudo";

Do you know any other parameter that allows us to pass the whole script with multiple line besides encoding them to base64? -s --script-decode "%script"

I'm trying to create a wrapper with action block. My shell script runtime hasn't been too good yet, so I couldn't rely on base64 package that comes within android toybox to encode the script.[/CODE]

 

[Dimlos]

I'm not quite sure what you want to do, but maybe this sample will help?

 

[sampleuserhere]

Oh I see that works too! I just have to escape ' with '\'' like the usual.

However it doesn't seem like I could return the stdout directly from termux though. Is there any specific settings I have to set up in Macrodroid to do this?

 

[Dimlos]

Does this mean that standard output is not returned even if I do not use tudo?
Are you excluding Termux or Termux:Tesker from battery optimization?

 

[Endercraft]

What I do and is easier to set up is make a script which uses every passed argument.

$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

And so on.

 

[Dimlos]

@Endercraft
That would make it very difficult for others to know what is being executed.

Yes, I tried executing /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/base64 while passing the text as stdin. It didn't return anything to Macrodroid (5.38.9 on A12), while it did to Tasker.

Both apps are excluded from battery optimization, I also maximized the value of phantom process killer as well.

I wonder what happened?

I may have to look into the log later.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that would beat the purpose of using tudo.

You can just input the command in arguments and read it from there.
It's the script equivalent of tudo.

 

[Dimlos]

@Endercraft
I understand what you want to do.
A long time ago, @tanutanu gave me such a script and I had no idea what it was.

 

[Dimlos]

@sampleuserhere
It seems to encode and decode normally in my environment.
A sample is attached.

 

[sampleuserhere]

The variable got populated again after I tried downgrading and upgrading the apk. The termux log didn't tell any odd behaviour either so I couldn't exactly pinpoint which one caused that.

Anyhow, I appreciate the answer @Dimlos. It turns out that I don't have to encode the script into base64 after all. Thankyou very much!

 

[Dimlos]

Many individuals may not have a understanding of tudo, even with Termux.
I am not that familiar with it.
If you have any questions, I am willing to work with you to solve them.

 

[Endercraft]

I'm not sure how but I just tried running a command and it worked.

 

[Dimlos]

I'm not sure how but I just tried running a command and it worked.

I think it is convenient depending on how you use it because you don't have to attach scripts.

 

[sampleuserhere]

I'm not sure how but I just tried running a command and it worked.

Here's the way I do things.

Let's say the script is stored under a local variable called script in MD, then we can pass -s '%script' as the argument with tudo location as the executable path.

If the script contains ' then the single quote should be replaced (escaped) with '\''.

It's also better to pass a local variable that contains only lower case characters. I'm having a hard time describing the syntax but the local variable should at least matches the following regexp ^%[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_]+[a-z0-9]$ otherwise the plugin won't recognises them as local variable, this is afaik about Tasker syntax.

Hi guys I need help.
I need this command to list running apps. It works fine on Termux but on Termux:tasker it throws this error.
Anyway to fix it? Thanks in advance

This is the command:



adb shell dumpsys activity processes | grep -E 'APP.*ProcessRecord\{' | sed 's/\*APP.*://g' | sed 's/\/.*$//g'

 

[Dimlos]

I don't know if this is the right answer, but the error no longer occurs.
adb shell dumpsys activity processes | grep -E 'APP.*ProcessRecord\{' | sed "s/\*APP.*://g" | sed "s/\/.*$//g"

Thanks. Unfortunately I'm getting the same error again. Maybe it's a problem with my environment for Termux:tasker

Share the screenshot of the configuration in Termux:Tasker, where it has the executable path, arguments, stdin, etc.
