Perhaps you have something unusual going on in your N900 bluetooth config? e.g. bluez from -devel? attempts to use BT keyboards or play with bt audio sinking? (at least i know i've played with all those at some point)
I've never done anything bluetooth-related, except for the DUN tethering years ago.

I set this up because that's what I thought was this advice about:

If that isn't the case, then I'm missing whatever I should have done here instead.

I have no idea. I'm just following your how-to.

I didn't call that.

Is within 10 seconds fast enough?
But frankly, if I'm on a clock here, that's nothing I'd like to use for production.

Did that multiple times.

This is what I got in the terminal when calling those scripts manually:
Code:
$ sudo /opt/genwall/bt_on.sh

cat: can't open '/var/run/bt_tethering.pid': No such file or directory                                                                                                                        
sh: you need to specify whom to kill                                                                                                                                                          
rm: can't remove '/var/run/bt_tethering.pid': No such file or directory
To get these lines off my N900 I had to reboot it again.
