Possible to start application from USB stick?

[thenessie]

Hi,
I'm new to the fantastic world of freetz and I did already a succsessfull freetzing of my (spare) FritzBox Fon 7270. I can connect to the freetz wegGUI and also connect with Putty over the telnet protocol.

In future I would like to use some small software applications to monitor some remote sensors connected via RF to a receiver on the USB port.
For more information see the project webpage: http://jeelabs.org/ and in particular
http://jeelabs.net/projects/jeemon/wiki/JeeMon_introduction

As an additional information, I'm quite experienced on Windows systems, but a newbie to linux systems...

what I tried was to put in a USB stick into the FritzBox. It was mounted as supposed and via telnet I went to /var/media/share/ftp/uStore01
There I saw my application in a directory called /datatables. I then simply tried to execute the application, but that resulted in a crash and reboot of the FritzBox.

Before going into details, my question here:
- Should it be possible to run an application directly from the USB-stick simply by executing it?
- Do I have to copy it somewhere on the FritzBox filesystem before running it?

Maybe I didn't deliver all information you need, please tell me, if you need some more information...
Thanks in advance
Greetings

Yes, it is possible to run an application directly from an USB-stick. And no, you don't need to copy it first.

If you want to get help we need more information about your application and the crash.

Hi Oliver,
thanks a lot for your quick response. I will try again this evening and try to give you some more information about my application and the resulting problems.

Hi,
I found how to start an application in LINUX.
I get the following output:

/var/media/ftp/uStor01/jm-linux-hallowelt # ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4036118 Apr 24 2010 JeeMon
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Feb 28 2011 application.tcl
/var/media/ftp/uStor01/jm-linux-hallowelt # ./JeeMon
./JeeMon: line 1: syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Has anyone an idea, what goes wrong?! Sorry, I'm really feeling helpless in this UNIX-world...

I think an explanation is beyond the scope of this forum.

You need a program specifically for your box.
