FYI I update the site from time to time. I included some information about "Tuning" the mod to suit your system.

Enjoy!

Wow, lots of excitement about your mods. Since I'm using Linux, can you help this poor soul do your mods without having the Windows utility? Can I apply your mods from the command line (same as I've applied Soundcheck's mods)?

Hi magic,

From Linux you can 'cd' to the rcS file and use your editing software [gedit or leafpad etc] if you can open that file you can just apply the changes to it. Otherwise yes you can apply the changes via command line ie [chrt -f -p....] you should still get a echo reply back as to the priority change.

Just in case you are not able to open window with a text editor like gedit etc. and are forced to use command line only here is a site with a pretty easy to follow guide for vi editing. This way you can 'cd' to the rcS file and open it in the terminal window, edit the file and save it.

Awesome. Actually, I'm using a Mac, but because I'm ssh-ing into the Touch from the Terminal, I feel like I'm descending into the command line Linux (or is it Unix?) Would your Linux instructions apply for the Mac flavor of *nix?

Also, I've learned from another thread discussing your mods (a different forum) that one member managed to shoot himself in the foot by applying your changes, after which he inadvertently added a blank line at the end of the file, thus causing the Touch to hang (it can happen if one is not familiar with the file editor). I wanna make sure I don't end up doing the same (it's a pain in the ass to do the factory reset and then redo all the Soundcheck's mods, if you know what I'm saying), so are there any tips you could kindly offer for making sure we don't inadvertently fabricate an extra blank line at the end of the file before saving it?

Thanks so much, I can't wait to get home and try this!

Hi magic,
The best way to insure you do not have extra spaces is to go to the end of the file and backspace until you get to the last character. same goes for each line, backspace to get rid of spaces.
