    Howdy! I can't seem to get over the "compile" step!



    As oscam file I tried using the one here http://linuxsat-support.com/os…2-64-bit-6.html#post68991
    oscam-svn7315-x86_64-pc-linux-webif-libusb-ssl-Distribution.tar.gz (394.5 KB, 10 views) to be precise
    What am I doing wrong?

    anyone successfully got a oscam check script working with this?


    Just an easy solution would be:


    Bash
    #!/bin/bash
if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c "oscam -b" >/dev/null
 then
 /usr/local/bin/oscam -b -r 2
fi


    Replace the bold parts, with your exact oscam filename, and oscam path.
    Then chmod 755 and schedule it with cron, to run every 2 minutes.

    thanks, cant seem to get this to work :(


    used notepad++ to create a file called oscheck and entered:


    Bash
    #!/bin/bash
if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c "oscam -b" >/dev/null
 then
 /bin/oscam -b -r 2
fi


    saved, ftp it to

    Code
    /etc/cron.hourly/

    and set Chmod to 755.


    logged onto terminal as user i set up when installing up ubuntu:


    Code
    crontab -e


    entered:


    Code
    */2 * * * * root /etc/cron.hourly/oscheck


    rebooted server, did

    Code
    cronrab -l

    to check if cron was there and it is


    killed oscam by using:

    Code
    sudo killall -9 oscam


    waited 5 mins and nothing, webif still down until i manually start oscam


    oscam binary is in correct location too


    any ideas? just a simple thing driving me insane!

    used notepad++ to create a file called oscheck and entered:



    Can you roll that all back ?


    Then, first test the script.. by shutting down oscam.. and run the script to check the startup..


    i changed it a bit:


    Code
    [FONT=courier new]if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c "oscam -b" >/dev/null
 then
 echo "oscam was not running! - restarting.."
 /bin/oscam -b -r 2
elif
 echo "oscam is running - no need to restart"
fi
[/FONT]



    After verification, put this line in /etc/crontab (as root):

    */2 * * * * root /your/path/to/./oscam-checker >/dev/null




    tried to run the script


    i get:


    ./etc/cron.hourly/oscheck


    result is:


    bash: ./etc/cron.hourly/oscheck: No such file or directory


    the file is definitely in the right folder


    any ideas? tried sudo, tried sh. , tried root too to run the file


    should the script have an extension? like.sh?


    Please follow my instructions..


    Roll back...


    That also means.. removing the file from that folder..


    Put it in /usr/local/bin. After copy, do a chmod 755 on the file.


    Then, start from scratch, as explained in my previous post.


    thanks mate


    did as you said exactly


    cant seem to run the script,


    bash: /usr/local/bin/oscheck: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
    bash: /usr/local/bin/oscheck: line 7: `fi'



    not very good with linux so not sure what im doing wrong?


    do the following:


    sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/oscheck <enter>
    oscheck <enter>


    and show output here.

    root@ubuntu:/usr/local/bin# sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/oscheck
    root@ubuntu:/usr/local/bin# oscheck
    /usr/local/bin/oscheck: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
    /usr/local/bin/oscheck: line 7: `fi'
    root@ubuntu:/usr/local/bin#

    srry.. that's my fault..

    replace 'elif' with 'else' in the script..

    Quote from bigup

    still the same mate


    root@ubuntu:/usr/local/bin# . oscheck
    bash: /usr/local/bin/oscheck: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
    bash: /usr/local/bin/oscheck: line 7: `fi'
    root@ubuntu:/usr/local/bin#


    ....


    Are you really really sure you saved correctly ?
    I got the same error as you in the script, and when modified it works..


    do a nano /usr/local/bin/oscheck to verify..


    (CTRL-X to save/exit)


    My output:

    Code
    root@OSC-CACHE:~# /usr/local/bin/oscheck
oscam is running - no need to restart




root@OSC-CACHE:~#


    Script:

    Code
    if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c "oscam -b" >/dev/null
 then
 echo "oscam was not running! - restarting.."
 /usr/local/bin/oscam -b -r 2
else
 echo "oscam is running - no need to restart"
fi


    1000% sure mate

    Hi All. I am going to build a server using help from this very useful guide. When I go to the Ubuntu Website, the only version of Ubuntu Server available is Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 LTS. Will this tutorial work with this version ? Thanks all.
