DM800 HD Oscam / CCcam check script help

Folks,

Good day. Have been going around in circles, trying to get a oscam / cccam check script working, as my oscam has been crashing twice a day at odd hours

I first tried the script that checks the "web interface" but when i run the script i get an error that "curl" does not exist. Not sure how to extract the curl file from the library, and which library, so instead am now trying the one that checks the process.

The script below doesn't seem to be working, because if i manually stop oscam, and then run the script oscam doesn't start up. The funny thing is if i run the four commands manually via telnet (kill oscam, kill cccam, start oscam, start cccam) , it works and oscam and cccam does start, but via the script it doesn't work

This is what i have so far

#!/bin/sh
process=`ps auxwww | grep oscam | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ -z '$process' ]; then
echo "Couldn't find oscam running. Restarting server-binary" >> /var/log/oscam.check
nohup killall CCcam_2.3.0 >> /var/log/oscam.log &
nohup killall oscam-v8a >> /var/log/oscam.log &
nohup oscam-v8a -b >> /var/log/oscam.log &
nohup CCcam_2.3.0 >> /var/log/oscam.log &
#sh /usr/script/Oscam_v8a_cs.sh
#sh /usr/script/CCcam_2.3.0_em.sh
else
echo "oscam is still OK!" >> /var/log/oscam.check
fi

Any help is appreciated

regards

Ok guys, i'm almost there....

After alot of reading, and testing, it seems i was trying to do too much. Since i'm running oscam and cccam, i thought that if oscam crashes, i would need to kill both oscam and cccam and then restart both, but seems not.

When oscam crashes, cccam still keeps on running (in my case at least). The only reason you would want to stop cccam and then start oscam first and cccam second, is so that cccam doesn't grab the reader before oscam. ( i think)

So when my oscam was crashing, and cccam was still running, the reader was still in oscam's hands (so to speak). So all i'm doing in the script is killall oscam, (just to be sure, oscam is dead), and then restarting oscam with -b.

My other problem was creating the cron job. That took a while. Was puting cron files all over trying different directoris, and then figured out that editing the root cron file in /var/spool/cron/crontabs did the trick. Now my sh file is running every 5 min.

My final problem is that i have to run crond through telnet for the scripts to work. But if i have to reboot my DM800 then the scripts won't run any more, because crond is not starting automatically.

So need to figure out how to get the DM800 to start crond on boot up...

Oops, just noticed the banner at the top, mentioning that this section is for working scripts only. Mod, please feel free to move to correct section....

Just an FYI to folks on my posts above, i did finally manage to get crond startup after reboot. Per the previous post, i did have issues with cron and getting scripts to execute, and secondly getting crond to startup automatically after a reboot. Found a site, that was sharing info on how it would work with Red Hat / Ubuntu and linux versions on PC...

The one that worked for me was

update-rc.d crond defaults
