  • Can you be more specific please? Which open command you are talking about? – Roy K Jan 28 '15 at 19:58
  • it is an cydia package which gives you the opportunity to open any app with the "open"-comman via ssh.. [see this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8759042/launch-gui-app-on-ios-5-through-the-command-line-jailbreak/11383664#11383664) – imabird Jan 29 '15 at 09:16
  • my problem is that i can't execute the command while my ipod/iphone is in locked screen, it shows me the error message i posted above.. does exist a workaround for that? – imabird Jan 29 '15 at 09:24

Does the device have to be locked when you run the app? I use Activator from Cydia to wake and unlock the device via SSH and then launch with Open. This is for iPad mini but you can change the values for stouch depending on your device.

activator send libactivator.system.homebutton && sleep 1 && stouch swipe 200 300 700 300 0.2 1
