[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudtheimpaler:
That's a grand idea. Yeah there is an init.d directory so seems fine.

I know adb start-server from the pc side, however there are a few folders etc with adb in them and I've not found which is the right one to kick of debug mode. Seeing as I can't actually see the screen it's hard to play with trial and error :) Any suggestions on that would be great.

/system/etc/init.d # find / | grep adb | while read in
> do
> echo "${in}: "
> ls -lrt $in
> done
