DESCRIPTION

DJS runs scripts and/or commands on boot or at set HH:MM (e.g, 23:59).

---

PREREQUISITES

• Android or Android based OS
• Any root solution (e.g., Magisk)
• Busybox (only if not rooted with Magisk)
• Terminal emulator (e.g., Termux)
• Text editor (optional)

---

BUILDING AND/OR INSTALLING FROM SOURCE

Dependencies

• git, wget, or curl
• zip

Build Tarballs and Flashable Zips

1. Download the source code: git clone https://github.com/VR-25/djs.git or wget https://github.com/VR-25/djs/archive/$reference.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz or curl -L# https://github.com/VR-25/djs/archive/$reference.tar.gz | tar -xz
2. cd djs*
3. sh build.sh (or double-click build.bat on Windows 10, if you have Windows subsystem for Linux installed)

Notes

• build.sh automatically sets/corrects id=* in *.sh and update-binary files.

• The output files are (in _builds/djs-$versionCode/): djs-$versionCode.zip, djs-$versionCode.tar.gz, and install-tarball.sh.

• To update the local repo, run git pull --force.

Install from Local Sources and GitHub

• sh install-tarball.sh djs installs the tarball (djs*gz) sitting next to it. The archive must be obtained from GitHub: https://github.com/VR-25/djs/archive/$reference.tar.gz ($reference examples: master, dev, 201908290).

• sh install-current.sh installs djs from the script's location.

• sh install-latest.sh [-c|--changelog] [-f|--force] [-n|--non-interactive] [%install dir%] [reference] downloads and installs djs from GitHub. e.g., sh install-latest.sh dev

Notes

• install-current.sh and install-tarball.sh take an optional parent installation path argument (e.g., sh install-current.sh /data - this will install djs to /data/djs/).

• install-latest.sh is a back-end to djs --upgrade (WIP).

• The order of arguments doesn't matter.

• The default parent installation paths, in order of priority, are: /data/data/mattecarra.djsapp/files/, /sbin/.magisk/modules/, /sbin/.core/img/ and /data/adb/.

• No argument/option is mandatory. The exception is --non-interactive for front-ends. Additionally, unofficially supported front-ends must specify the parent installation path.

• Recall that unlike the other two installers, install-latest.sh requires the installation path to be enclosed in % (e.g., sh install-latest.sh %/data% --non-interactive).

• The --force option (install-latest.sh) is meant for reinstallation and downgrading.

• sh install-latest.sh --changelog --non-interactive prints the version code (integer) and changelog URL (string) when an update is available. In interactive mode, it also asks the user whether they want to download and install the update.

SETUP

Any Root Solution

Install/upgrade: unless Magisk is not installed, always install/upgrade from Magisk Manager or dedicated DJS front-end; apps such as EX Kernel Manager and FK Kernel Manager are also good options.

Uninstall: depending o the installed variant, you can run su -c djs --uninstall or flash /sdcard/djs-uninstaller.zip (both are universal), use Magisk Manager (app) or Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode (utility), or clear the front-end app data. The flashable uninstaller works everywhere - Magisk Manager, kernel managers, TWRP, etc..

Notes

DJS supports live upgrades - meaning, rebooting after installing/upgrading is unnecessary.

The daemon is automatically started right after installation.

For non-Magisk install, busybox binary is required. Additionally, $installDir/djs/djs-init.sh must be executed on boot_completed to initialize djs; without this, djs commands won't work.

CONFIGURATION (/data/adb/djs-data/config.txt)

// This is a comment line

// This s used to determine whether config should be patched. Do NOT modify!
versionCode=201908180

// Schedule Examples

// Run on boot
// boot touch /data/I-was-born-on-boot; : --delete
// ": --delete" is optional; it means "delete the line/schedule after execution".

// Apply Advanced Charging Controller night settings at 22:00
//2200 acc 45 44 && acc --set applyOnPlug usb/current_max:500000

// Restore regular ACC settings at 6:00 (morning)
//0600 acc 80 70 && acc -s applyOnPlug 2000000; : --boot
// ": --boot" is optional; it lets this schedule run on boot as well (fail-safe).

USAGE

If you feel uncomfortable with the command line, you can use a text editor to modify /data/adb/djs-data/config.txt. Changes to this file take effect almost instantly, and without a daemon restart.

Terminal Commands

DJS Config Tool

Usage: djsc|djs-config OPTION ARGS

-a|--append 'LINE'
  e.g., djsc -a 2200 reboot -p

-d|--delete 'PATTERN' (all matching lines)
  e.g., djsc --delete 2200

-e|--edit EDITOR OPTS (fallback: nano -l|vim|vi)
  e.g., djs-config --edit vim

-l|--list 'PATTERN' (default ".", meaning "all lines")
  e.g., djsc -l '^boot'


DJS Daemon Management Commands

Start/restart: djsd
Stop: djsd.|djsd-stop
Status: djsd,|djsd-status


Print Version Code (integer)

djs-version


Notes
- All commands return either 0 (success/running) or 1 (failure/stopped).
- djsd-status prints the daemon's process ID (PID).
- Special shell characters (e.g., "|", ";", "&") must be quoted or escaped. For the sake of simplicity and consistency, single-quote all arguments as a whole (e.g., djsc -a '2200 reboot -p').

NOTES/TIPS FOR FRONT-END DEVELOPERS

It's best to use full commands over short equivalents - e.g., djs-config --list instead of djsc -l. This makes your code more readable (less cryptic).

Use provided config descriptions for DJS settings in your app(s). Include additional information (trusted) where appropriate.

Online DJS Install

1) Check whether DJS is installed (exit code 0)
which djsd > /dev/null

2) Download the installer (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VR-25/djs/master/install-latest.sh)
- e.g., curl -#LO URL or wget -O install-latest.sh URL

3) Run "sh install-latest.sh" (installation progress is shown)

Offline DJS Install

Refer to the BUILDING AND/OR INSTALLING FROM SOURCE section above.

Officially Supported Front-ends

Exit Codes

0. True or success
1. False or general failure
2. Missing busybox binary
3. Not running as root
4. Update available
5. No update available
