Oscam script on Enigma2

Hi.

First, you should state which Enigma you use (OpenPLi, OpenATV, OpenHDF, etc.) and also which Oscam-launcher (when booting) you use (which also depends on the Oscam installation package, but also on the Enigma used).

Linux set-top boxes / Linux op. systems usually have the CRON scheduler already pre-installed and you can check it also via the Shell:

opkg list-installed | grep -i "cron"

If CRON is not pre-installed already, it can be installed manually (via the Shell / command-line terminal):

1. opkg update && opkg list | grep -i cron - to view available installation packages of the CRON
2. opkg install enigma2-crontab-package-name to install the appropriate package
3. reboot - reboot the set-top box

Next, just edit the scheduler configuration file, which should be located here: /etc/crontabs/cron/root.

Add a new line... intended for the type of Oscam trigger via shell-script, which should be present in the folder /etc/init.d:

00 03 * * *        /bin/bash /etc/init.d/softcam restart

- every day at 03:00, will executed the command for Bash shell, what runs the "softcam" script - with "restart" argument

- if the script filename is different as "softcam", then change it by your needs... for example "softcam.oscam", "SoftCAM.sh", "Oscam_launcher.sh", etc.

And restart the CRON service, or whole system / set-top box again.
