Install addon from command line

Is this for your Ultra?

Take a look at e.g. http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=30455

Once you have extracted the add-on to a directory (you should see four files: install.sh, remove.sh, addons.conf, files.tgz), change the working directory to that directory and run the install script

e.g.

cd /tmp/fred
sh install.sh

In the above example all the contents of /tmp/fred will be removed at the end of the add-on installation.

Installing from the command line you might be able to put in some debug code that won't show via a Frontview installation but before releasing an add-on you should test installation via Frontview to confirm it works via that method.

FrontView installs it via compiled apache modules and binaries.

You can see some clues by running strings on the files. strings can be installed with 'apt-get install binutils'
