Respring iPhone by SSH

[speechmill]

Hi,
I've made a bunch of scripts to send to my jailbreaked iPhone my builds, then sign them. But I still need to respring my iPhone. Is there any way to do it by ssh?

I don't know of a way to respring from the ssh prompt. However, there are several apps that are available through Cydia that provide respring functionality. BossPrefs is the one that I use on my jailbroken iPod Touch.

you could install Erica Tools from Cydia and then in ssh you can just type "restart"

you could also type "reboot" allready.. but then its rebooting

killall -HUP SpringBoard

Put that in your terminal via ssh and it will reboot the springboard.

thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for!

killall -HUP SpringBoard


Great !!! .. way faster then restart! thanks!

launchctl stop com.apple.SpringBoard will be available if the killall binary isn't on someones phone. launchctl is included in the iPhone firmware, if you plan to use this in an app I suggest using launchctl.

Hey guys how can I run this through a program like winscp (command line) or putty? In the terminal app on the iphone it works perfectly but from my pc I get get it to respring! Please help!

Thanks,

Josh

**EDIT
it works in putty but not winscp (i.e in cmd running winscp.com then using commands) any idea why?
