"One Touch Ultra smart software for linux"

[JWB62]

Greetings,

I'm trying to find Linux software for my One Touch Ultra meter. Also I have downloaded one software(a free trial) but it's in the sh format and I'm unable to run it. I would to find Free software as I already paid up the nose for the lifescan's version (actually it was the cable that cost), they don't have a linux version. If any one knows of any programs that will work with my meter, let me know.

Regards,

John Beall

Go to the directory containing the file. (Let's say the file is onetouch.sh.) Then, as root, type:

bash onetouch.sh

and that should install the program.

Thanks for the help, Now if I can only find a free product instead of paying for the one I have on trial. would be vary nice.

Again thanks for your help. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/...lies/smile.gif

You should really type:

sh onetouch.sh

tive login shell, or a non-interactive shell with the --login option,
it first attempts to read and execute commands from /etc/profile and
~/.profile, in that order. The --noprofile option may be used to
inhibit this behavior. When invoked as an interactive shell with the
name sh, bash looks for the variable ENV, expands its value if it is
defined, and uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and
execute. Since a shell invoked as sh does not attempt to read and exe-
cute commands from any other startup files, the --rcfile option has no
effect. A non-interactive shell invoked with the name sh does not
attempt to read any other startup files. When invoked as sh, bash
enters posix mode after the startup files are read.
