How to run again ?
Installation done in just 2 steps but this step is optional if you want to run again after sometime or you just closed termux and want to again run ReconDog in termux then you need to follow below steps..
this method is working same for every tools or script just you need to understand that script written in which programming language.
Command Breakdown :
ls
ls command shows available folders and files in working directory. when you open termux by default directory is $HOME (/data/data/com.termux/files/home).
pwd
pwd command show current working directory path so you can use this command anywhere in termux if you don’t know you are in which folder.
after typing ls command in termux you will get list of all available tools or scripts in our case we have ReconDog named folder present in $HOME folder so now next step is open or enter into ReconDog folder.
for access or enter specific folder we used cd command means change directory so our command is :
cd ReconDog
after this command we have successfully entered in the ReconDog folder. make sure name of folder matched with ReconDog, if you write something like this cd reconDog or cd recondog it will not works because its case-sensitive so if folder name written in small then you need to give name in small letter after cd.
now you don’t know which files present in ReconDog folder so you need to type ls command again for looking which files and folder there.
in our case there is LICENSE, dog, requirements.txt, README.md files and core and plugins folder.
there is our main script is dog written in python language. if there is file extenstion after name like dog.py then you need to try to run this script using python or python2 command like :
python dog
if file is written in bash or shell then there is sh extension after file name like dog.sh you can run this script by below command :
$ bash dog.sh
$ sh dog.sh
$ ./dog.sh
you can run bash/shell script using multiple way mostly used ./ and bash command for running shell script.
if file is written in php or go language then you can find out by extenstion name after filename like dog.php or dog.go
you can run php file by “php dog.php” command same you can use go “go dog.go”.
i hope your query solved regarding how you can run script again after close termux app. there is simple methodology first you need to open that folder in termux then you need to find main script and run accordingly file programming language if file extension is .py then you need to run in python if .sh then use bash or ./ same like other language.
this method is used to run any installed tools in termux. if you are facing any issue then please comment down your query.
How to remove any tools ?
Installation you can remove any Tools or Script from termux by below easy method there is predefined rm command that used for remove.
we don’t know how many tools in my termux so first we have to check which tools or script present in termux by ls command.
ls
so, output shows we have three tools “Bhai4You“, “ReconDog” and “ReconX“. now suppose i want to remove Bhai4You script so i would write below command in termux.
rm -rvf Bhai4You
in above command replace Bhai4You with your folder name which you want to delete from termux also you can delete multiple tools or scripts by following commands.
rm -rvf ReconDog ReconX
after this command test directory is empty now all 3 directory successfully deleted so there is nothing now !
