Script to restart cccam if it stops

[piptaps]

CCcam is stopping almost every hour. I have to manually restart it or reboot the box altogether.

Im looking for a script which can auto start the cccam each time it stops.

Im running 2.1.4, Pli jade image.

There is crontab built in already

Hi, seen this on another forum and is not my work,

Re: Script to restart CCcam if it stops responding



here is the guide for Gemini 4.2!!

Prepare this file in notepad and save it as ccheck.sh

#!/bin/sh
if ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam >/dev/null
then
echo "cccam... ok"
else
echo "cccam... restarting"
/var/bin/CCcam_2.0.8 &
fi


ftp the mentioned file to the dreambox into /var/script

set the file attributes to 755.

When the file is sent all must be done in the dm menu, so follow below steps:

1. Press Blue button
2. Press Extra/Setup
3. Press Services/Daemon
4. goto Crond section and press Setup
5. Press New
6. Now you have to decide how frequent you want this script to run example every 30mins ( In this case make sure you only have 30 in the minutes section)
7. go on the last line Command and press ok ( A selection window should open)
8. Select the script from the list, in this case you should look for ccheck.sh or whatever name you used earlier to save it. press ok when you find the script and should return to the previous menu.
9. Press Save once more and then exit.
10. if all was done ok it should check if CCcam is running and if not it will start it for you!! You can test this by changing to common interface and wait for the ammount of minutes you specified earlier.

Can't you change to an image where cccam doesn't stop? Or if you are using an N line then give mgcamd a go?

[piptaps]

I was using Nabilo then changed to Pli jade, the result is the same. CCcam stops all the time throught the day

[IAmATeaf]

So does the cccam process just die? Never heard of this myself and I used to use cccam lots before.

[piptaps]

yes it just die, to re-start it box need reboot or manually starting the cam again with remote.

I have seen that pli jade has crontab already built in. Problem is there is no script folder and the i cant make one at the same time

[IAmATeaf]

If this is happening across many images then you really need to find out why.

There's supposed to be a way to run cccam so that all messages get logged, I'll see if I can find the info and post back.

I have 5 gadgets connected to the super hub. 1 PC, 1 PS3, 2 dreamboxes, and an xbox 360. Problem is affecting the 2 dreamboxes same time. They stop same time all the time

i have exactly the same problem here, and so does a friend of mine, nearby. the one thing in common we all have, is the superhub.

i am on my second one already, because they are rubbish. but i have just caught my dm500 now, cccam not responding, so i went into my superhub and it said the device was connected.

i never rebooted the box, i just restarted the cam, and it all came back.

this makes me think the superhub cant run cccam 24/7, without dropping out now and again, and when it does, cam has to be restarted manualy.

im going to give this script a go, does anyone know how to ftp it to the pli jade image, i dont seem to have a script directory in mine, or cron d either.

[entropy]

right, no takers, so im gonna change my image to gemini, and try the script with that.

can anyone explain though, how do i set the file attributes to 755?

You have to use a FTP program like Cute FTP or FTP Command or Core FTP and change the attribute to 755.
