How to update your keys automatically

[dowlinr]

This is based on the pli image, didn't work on my mates running nabilo as it didn't have crontab.

In windows open notepad and paste the following line into it (obviously replacing the url of a softcam file that gets updated):

wget -qO /var/keys/SoftCam.Key URL_OF_SOFTCAM_FILE

Save the file as softcamkey.sh
Ftp the softcamkey.sh file to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/scripts
If the scripts directory isn't there create it.

Telnet to your box and enter your username and password.
Type

crontab -e

You will now be faced with a text editor.
Press the "a" key which will allow you to append text to the line.

On the first line type

00 4 * * * /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/scripts/softcamkey.sh

Now press Esc and type :wq
(colon write and quit)

That's it your done. The key file will update at 4 am every morning.

Digitv and rai still do, you're right, not a lot left on keys. It was cheesing me off updating the keys for digitv manually so decided to do something about it. Thought it might be useful to someone.

This could be handy for some people. I loaded the SatanKey updater on my box and I just run that when I want to update my keys. I use the Pli image and what I would really like is a plugin script that would automatically reboot my dm600 at a set time everyday. The Nabilo team do a number of scripts for their image just a shame we can't export them into different images.

If you want a reboot script just change the text in the file from

 wget -qO /var/keys/SoftCam.Key URL_OF_SOFTCAM_FILE

to

reboot

Then save the file as reboot.sh

Ftp it to your box and follow the instructions for crontab.
Crontab will should look like this:

00 4 * * * /var/tuxbox/enigma/scripts/reboot.sh

change the first two values for time of day you want to reboot, first value is minutes and second is hours.

So the above line will run the reboot script at 4am, if you want to reboot at say 1:15 am use 15 1 * * *
