[reno]

Many Thanks

this will work for Gemini 4.2, but you will have to test on 4.7

paste this 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/[COLOR=Red]CCcam_2.2.1[/COLOR] &
fi

see above script marked in red, input the version of CCcam you will be using,

ftp the file to the dreambox into /var/script

set the file attributes to 755


then in the dm500 menu, follow the steps below:

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 amount of minutes you specified earlier.

i hope this helps you

Hi all,
I done the same script widely avavlable on the forum un my IBM server with UBUNTU 10.0.

If i manually kill cccam and start the script it say cccam restarting but with ps fax or ps -x the ccam it is not showed in the process... If i run my line manually then it start.... damn it! (/usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86 &).. I tried sevral folder and to chmod the script 755 and 777 ... nada does not want to start it...
ANy idea please ?

Thanks

You've probably written your script in Windoze Notepad or Wordpad, so it contains hidden EOL codes that prevent Linux from executing the script.

Run this command in Telnet:

dos2unix /var/script/ccheck.sh

and then try again. And use a proper Text Editor, like Notepad++ (Freeware), where you can change the document format from DOS/Windows to Unix/ANSI very easily.

Or find the file with TuxCom and press Blue to 'Linux Format' it, then Save.

Cheers- AL

hi, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THIS IT IS NOT A DREAMBOX BUT AN IMB SERVER WITH UBUNTU 10.0...........Went into my checkcccam.sh with VIM and retyped everything...nada same problem...

Plwease help!


#!/bin/sh
if ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam.x86 >/dev/null
then
echo "cccam... ok"
else
echo "cccam... restarting"
# killall -9 /usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
/usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
fi


*******************************************

I downloaded notepad++ and saved as .sh
when i run it say

-rwxrwxrwx 1 mark1832 mark1832 806864 2010-11-19 14:25 CCcam.x86
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mark1832 mark1832 191 2011-02-09 11:20 checkcccam.sh
root@mark1832-desktop:/usr/local/bin# dos2unix /usr/local/bin/checkcccam.sh
dos2unix: command not found
root@mark1832-desktop:/usr/local/bin# sh checkcccam
sh: Can't open checkcccam
root@mark1832-desktop:/usr/local/bin# sh checkcccam.sh
checkcccam.sh: 9: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then"


shall i change fi with [ ] ???

[PaphosAL]

This error message:

[COLOR=red]checkcccam.sh: 9: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then"[/COLOR]

tells you that there is something seriously wrong with the first two lines of the script:

 
[COLOR=red]if ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam.x86 >/dev/null[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]then[/COLOR]

So, there's a syntax error there, and it's not picking up the then statement. Only guessing, but I'd have expected the first line to read more like:

 
[COLOR=blue]if [ ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam.x86 >/dev/null ] ; then[/COLOR]

and it might be worth your while activating the killall line, be removing the # comment. In your manual Terminal testing, you've ran the script to restart CCcam three times in succession without killing it, which means THREE CCcams are now loaded into memory! Not conducive to debugging...

Cheers- AL

[mark1832]

put the bracket as you said and now we got :

root@mark1832-desktop:/usr/local/bin# sh checkcccam.sh
checkcccam.sh: 10: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
damn it!
there must be something that ubuntu screw up

[PaphosAL]

Let's see your revised script, exactly as it now stands, please. AL

[mark1832]

many thanks for all you help ok ?

#!/bin/sh
if [ ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam.x86 >/dev/null ] ;
then
echo "cccam... ok"
else
echo "cccam... restarting"
killall -9 /usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
/usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
fi

even if i remove the ; before the first then it stay the same error

root@mark1832-desktop:/usr/local/bin# ls -l
total 792
-rwxrwxrwx 1 mark1832 mark1832 806864 2010-11-19 14:25 CCcam.x86

[mark1832]

i tried this one:

#!/bin/sh
if [ `ps x | grep -v grep | grep -c CCcam.x86` -gt 0 ];
then
echo "cccam... ok"
else
echo "cccam... restarting"
# killall -9 /usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
/usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86 &
fi

now as before it run but in ps -x or ps -fax cccam it is not started!

[mark1832]

please see picture attached

[PaphosAL]

Mark- the more I look at this script, the more it looks like there is either something vital missing on the grep front in that first line, or the syntax is wrong.

That stuff is way over my head, so I'm going to ask LraiZer to look at your current script, to see if he has a better idea to accomplish what it is you are trying to achieve.

Watch this space...

AL

[mark1832]

I found the solution! :
for some reasons ubuntu want sudo before executing the else statement sorted! thanks to all... i also made a script to log any failure and restrting of cccam
if anybody want it please pm me!

killall CCcam.x86
sleep 2
sudo /usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86 &
fi

[LraiZer]

try just changing the script from sh to bash?

[COLOR="Red"][B]#!/bin/bash[/B][/COLOR]
if ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam >/dev/null
then
 echo "cccam... ok"
else
 echo "cccam... restarting"
 /usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
fi
