Hi. I'm a bit new to this think. I read a lot but i couldn't understand how to create a script that will execute only once when the sat in turning on.
The decoder can't get the time because I don't have linked the sat, so i run via telnet
ntpd -q -p pool.ntp.org
But when it lose power i have to do that againt.
Is it possible to save that somewere so when it turns on it executes automatically?
Thank you.

You need arrange it such a way that the time is always known before enigma2 starts... And it should only be executed when the box can reach the WWW....
ntpd -qn -p pool.ntp.org

See post 10 in this tread..
So before you run enigma2 the time should be "catched".... E.g. something in E2 with the configs should arrange it...
But please note it does prolong the boot time for a few seconds.
Note however that e2 doesn't like it very much, if it gets an external systemtime.
Some things (timers, epg) might still think they are running on transpondertime.

Or install the systemtime plugin and let that handle everything for you, instead of trying to do stuff manually...

I was not aware we had that (already) in our feeds....
I think we could consider to put this dedicated in our images...

No, because it's a workaround.

I'm just considering to change it to get the time from the ntp instead of the transponder... e.g. when you 'hit' a transponder with incorrect time you still can get wierd things (missed recordings etc...) of even when the transponder is somehow "out of use"... When connected to the internet the ntp is more trustfull...

The system doesn't suddenly change when you come around an invalid transponder. The time is only taken from the startup transponder.

That is right... but when you boot the box on an incorrect transponder or nothing to receive condition or stream or so it will never get a time...

Which is often the case when you often move your dish outside the several most popular satellite positions.

well, and 'setting as startup service' some reliable channel wouldn't solve this transponder time issue in most cases?
this feature would seem to be made exactly for this...

It probably would but if you are at 27.5W or at 52E and your startup service is at 19.2E, it wouldn't be quite fun when you use a rotor.

Hi,
This time problem is a recurring question here. I think that OpenPLi should have this option available out-of-the-box in the GUI.
What some image builders do, is to propose the option in the menu but install the corresponding .ipk from the feed only when the end-user decide to really use this feature.
NTP is not that big package and it can also be decided to integrate it by default.
We also have more and more users that use there STB disconnected from the antenna but use IPTV channels, or purchase a "zap box" (Vu+ Zero) to install in another room where it has no satellite signal, so it gets no time at startup, and use the remote server feature to zap but would like to have the EPG locally with XMLTV-import.
So please OpenPLi team consider to have the NTP option by default in your image, this will avoid the recurring questions about time issue.

Again, there is a plugin in the feeds called systemtime, which deals with all of this, and more. How much more complex must it be?

or just make an enigma2-prestart script for it

The plugin System Time is a "must have" plugin for the United States. This plugin has worked great for me, except it takes 15-30 seconds for the time to adjust when the receiver rebooted or when power is removed from the receiver.

You need to tinker with the settings a bit, sometimes the plugin starts before the network is operational.
@athoik,
Why is that, does it have some binary closed source component? Is it a 3rd-party plugin, I can't find a recipe for it?
