Batteries Included

thingOS comes with many services that are commonly found in a Linux distro:


WiFi

The wireless connection is handled by the wpa_supplicant daemon. The S35wifi init script starts and monitors the wireless connection, if a wireless network is configured in wpa_supplicant.conf.

WiFi Access Point

Bluetooth

The init script S37bluetooth that takes care of initializing the Bluetooth stack has been included with thingOS. The BlueZ 5 packages are enabled by default, together with the required command line tools.

The bluetooth.conf file is used to configure the bluetooth stack.

3G/4G Modem

Date/Time

SSH Server

Cron Daemon

The cron daemon included by default with thingOS is the one embedded in BusyBox. It is started at boot by S51crond.

Two instances are started: one for the system configuration (/etc/crontabs) and one for the "user" configuration (/data/etc/crontabs).

The standard crontab -e command can be used to edit the "user" cron configuration.

Logrotate

Syslog

Udev

DBus
