Hello to all,

Need help tools for Cron on DM800HD pvr

I have a problem that does not riescho to understand. I have on my DM800HD PVR installed the image GeminiE2 10.05

Everything is great, but the only problem is that riescho do not start funzzione Chron.

I put forward the various commands and files you create crontab, but will not start ....

I use cron to start registrazzione when one is not at home, with the tools of programming that imagine the various television programs.

Maybe there's a thing to do, I have a correction to be implanted.

Thank you all for your help.

Looks like your crond is running fine.
The only thing to do now is writing the entries you need in crontabs file.

Re: Need help tools for Cron on DM800HD pvr

Hello,

I followed what you wrote above

I put in the folder usr / script
Files :
- ToggleStandby.sh to the dream ; watch;
- WakeFromStandby.sh to transform the dream

I have written to the file ; ToggleStandby.sh placed in usr / script folder and uitable atributti 755

wget -q- O - "http:// name : password @ Dream / web / powerstate newstate Ip = 0? "> / dev / NULLL

And this in WakeFromStandby.sh updated file in the usr / directory script and uitable atributti 755

wget -q- O - "The Dream of http://Nameassword @ IP / web / powerstate newstate = 4 "> / dev / null

This created the root file name, to etc / cron / crontabs

50 15 *** / usr / script / ToggleStandby.sh
55 15 *** / usr / script / WakeFromStandby.sh

so 15.50 goes into sleep mode
He leaves 15.55

That's why I went with the remote control to activate the cron

---- blue button > point 4 Service / daemons ---- > cron here OK, and adopted by the red - Order , the color yellow - Starup
complete restart dream

Once restarted the dream I went aveder and Cron and always red
But the time of waiting programming (hence the 15.50 hours) mesa and the dream is in standby.

But at 15:55 the dream and does not start.
And as if the cron is not always active .

My question , you can activate the cron to do that remains active.

Thank you for your help

Re: Need help tools for Cron on DM800HD pvr

crontab -l

50 15 *** / usr / script / ToggleStandby.sh
55 15 *** / usr / script / WakeFromStandby.sh

so 15.50 goes into sleep mode
He leaves 15.55

1. why the spaces in the script name ?
1. why no spaces between '*'
this looks better to me:
50 15 * * * /usr/script/ToggleStandby.sh

2. try to run them manually ( to test chmod, path, in/out, ...), ie:

telnet

root
dreambox

chmod 755 /usr/script/ToggleStandby.sh
chmod 755 /usr/script/WakeFromStandby.sh

source /usr/script/ToggleStandby.sh
source /usr/script/WakeFromStandby.sh

I put in the folder usr / script
The files :
- ToggleStandby.sh to put the Dream in ; Standby ;
- WakeFromStandby.sh to turn the dream

This what I've written the file ; ToggleStandby.sh put in the folder usr / script and uitable atributti 755

wget -q- O - "http:// Name : password @ Ip 's Dream / web / powerstate ? newstate = 0" > / dev / NULLL

And this in the file WakeFromStandby.sh put in the folder usr / script and uitable atributti 755

wget -q- O - " http://Nameassword @ Ip 's Dream / web / powerstate ? newstate = 4"> / dev / null

This created the file name root ; put into etc / cron / crontabs

50 15 *** / usr / script / ToggleStandby.sh
55 15 *** / usr / script / WakeFromStandby.sh

so at 15.50 goes into standby
restarts at 15.55

that 's why I went with the remote control to activate the cron

blue button ---- > point 4 Service / daemons ----> cron here as OK , and passed by the color red - Stopped , the color Yellow - Starup
complete restart of the dream

Once rebooted the dream I went aveder and Cron and ; always red
But waitin time of programming that (hence the hours 15.50) mesa and the dream is in standby.

But at 15:55 the dream and does not start.
And as if the cron is not always active.

My question , you can activate the cron to do that remains active .

What I noticed that the cron runs the first line of the file that is located in the root crontabs.

At the start, the first line of commandos relizza .. but the following nothing.

The problem in my opinion and that the cron does not remain active dopod the execuzzione of the first commando

I do not know how they do little to activate the cron after execuzzione the first line of the root files.

Thanks for the help

i'd like to know if:

1. if the 2 scripts can be started manually as suggested here above,

2. if the deamon crond is running or not running

ps aux |grep cron

Hello,

both script launched manually.

The cron runs well.

Proof when I reboot my Dreambox, prmière the line of my root file located in the folder etc / cron / crontabs, it runs.

But the following line from my root, where it is not éxucute.

In conclusion, if one task set, the cron works well though.
If several jobs, the first executes and others do not.

Well, thank you for help

In conclusion, if one task set, the cron works well though.

... so, the first script can be reached and launched for run by crond

and not the second one

my suggestion:
- edit such a test case crontab
( i think to be correct when i say that the filecrontab can be modified exclusively with the command crontab -e ...)

50 15 * * * /usr/script/ToggleStandby.sh
52 15 * * * /usr/script/ToggleStandby.sh

55 15 * * * /usr/script/WakeFromStandby.sh

and to log this, insert such a line in the script:


{
echo ---
echo $(date '+%y%m%d.%H%M%S') $0
ps aux |grep cron
echo
}>>/var/tmp/my.log

Hello,

Looks like you have a bad line termination problem, so the first line is well executed but all the others are lost.
Maybe are you using a non unix editor for crontab ? (such as notepad)
