Hi!

CCcam stops working by itself daily, and the EMU must resetartes manually every day!
How to put commandos inside crontab to prevent CCcam stops?
Is there a script for this?

Thanking you in advance!

/etc/init.d/softcam restart

[littlesat]

That is a command line to start CCcam (or any emu).

Maybe a script like this, run from cron, after you verify it works manually...

 

 

#!/bin/sh                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                             
if ps | grep -v grep | grep CCcam > /dev/null  #Check target is running                                    
                                                                                                             
then                                                                                                         
                                                                                                             
   exit  #If target is running, exit the script                                                              
                                                                                                             
else                                                                                                         
                                                                                                             
/etc/init.d/softcam.CCcam start  #If it wasn't running, start it
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
fi
 

If you're running a different version of CCcam, named differently, edit the script to match...

If your cam binary was named CCcam221 then the script would look like

 

#!/bin/sh                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                             
if ps | grep -v grep | grep CCcam221 > /dev/null  #Check target is running                                    
                                                                                                             
then                                                                                                         
                                                                                                             
   exit  #If target is running, exit the script                                                              
                                                                                                             
else                                                                                                         
                                                                                                             
/etc/init.d/softcam.CCcam221 start #If it wasn't running, start it

fi

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Personally I use the "crontab -e" command to configure my cron jobs, but that requires a basic understanding of the Vi editor. You may find it easier to just create a text file named root (not root.txt, just root) containing a line like:

 

*/5 * * * * /path/to/script/above

or

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/camcheck

etc...

 

That'd run the script every 5 minutes to check and restart cam if needed. */1 would check every minute, */2 every 2 minutes, etc... Copy the root file to /etc/cron/crontabs (resulting in /etc/cron/crontabs/root). If you created the file in windows, make sure Windows didn't add a hidden .txt extension. I don't "think" M$ carriage returns would choke the DB, but if the script or cron doesn't want to run, telnet into the box and run the dos2unix command on the relevant files, something like:

 

dos2unix /etc/cron/crontabs/root

dos2unix /usr/bin/camcheck

1000 thanks dear hemispherical1 for ur very clearly explaining. Now I know how to make CCcam restart automaticly.

Best regards

kokar

[kokar]

Hi again Hemi..

should I have a file called "camcheck" in user/bin or its not needed?

Regards

kokar

[hemispherical1]

The script above has to be saved as an executable file somewhere in the DB's filesystem. In the example I named it camcheck and placed it in /usr/bin, but you may name it whatever you like and place it wherever you like as long as you know where it is... I'll let you...

[satwalker]

please can you add the file's here for cccam restart script i have the same problem 

[MiLo]

If the Cccam process really dies, then you're better of surrounding it with a shell script and restart it whenever it crashes.

Something like:

$ CCcam.sh
while true
do
CCcam
sleep 1
done

Much quicker than monitoring.

Of course, not having it crash would be even better...

[hemispherical1]

I can't really post "the files" as they are dependent on the file names and paths on your receiver.

 

That is why the "examples" are posted above, so people can make any edits that they might require and copy them into place, test them and make any changes that may be required. Then they can use cron to run the script on a schedule.

 

There should be enough information in this thread to make it work, everyone else appears to have been able to do it. If you get stuck somewhere, like cron for example, google is your friend. Search terms like dreambox, cron, schedule, etc...

 

 

Good luck,

much better use nano 

 

cd /sbin

wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/LS2_MIPSel/Packages/mipsel-nano_2.0

mv mipsel-nano_2.0 nano

chmod +x nano
