How to "Oscam check script"

As more and more peeps are required to take the plunge with oscam here is a simple script which will check to see if oscam is running. If oscam has stopped running it will restart it automatically.

#!/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 /usr/local/bin/oscam >> /var/log/oscam.log &
else
echo "oscam is still OK!" >> /var/log/oscam.check
fi

succesfully tested this under a linux environment and can confirm it works 100%.You must however ensure that your oscam binary is indeed located in /usr/local/bin. If it isnt amend the script accordingly. Just configure cron to run the script say every 5 minutes & voila

Very new to linux so this might be a silly question.

when i try see if oscam is running I get this (using this in terminal)
ps ax | grep cam

1918 ? Ssl 0:03 /usr/local/bin/CCcam.x86
4188 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4189 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4190 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4191 ? S<l 0:15 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4192 ? S<l 0:15 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4196 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4197 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4198 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4199 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86
4200 ? S< 0:00 /usr/local/bin/oscam.x86

Does this mean there is more then one oscam running?

This script has the 2 methods of check:

#!/bin/bash
if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c /emu/oscam/oscam.x86 >/dev/null
then
oscript start
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R process was not working"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
# This part above will check if there is NO oscam process running.
# And if this condition it truth, it will start it and write to log.
# Log entry will contain time stamp and reason of execution (process not working)
# If first condition in not truth (oscam was running), go further to next condition.
elif
tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c ins40 >/dev/null
then
oscript restart
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R ins40 error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
elif
tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c deadlock >/dev/null
then
oscript restart
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R deadlock error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
# Those 2 conditions will look for 2 common errors in Oscam: "ins40" and "deadlock"
# If last 8 lines of your oscam.log contain any of those errors, it will restart oscam.
# Log entries will include the exact reason of restart.
# ins40 error is random error that will keep oscam running but no CWs returned.
# deadlock is older error that appear if you use CCcam protocol in oscam.server
else
echo "ok"
# If oscam passes all conditions and all is OK, it will simply echo "ok"
fi

Oscam check script for ultimo
1. Make a script like this and ftp to /usr/script where other scripts are for ex oscam_check
2. Make a cronjob for ex emu restart at a certain time
3. Go to /etc/bhcron and open files bh.cron and root
4. Add in both files below the lines a 5 min cron as you do in debian to check cccam or oscam and save files.
5. Do a hard reset and you will see in oscam.log that script works every 5 min and write log

#!/bin/sh
remove_tmp () {
rm -rf /tmp/*.info* /tmp/*.tmp*
}
oscam_rs () {
killall -9 oscam 2>/dev/null
sleep 3
remove_tmp
/usr/bin/oscam -b
}

if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c /usr/bin/oscam >/dev/null
then
oscam_rs
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R process was not working"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
elif
tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c ins40 >/dev/null
then
oscam_rs
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R ins40 error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
elif
tail -8 /var/log/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c deadlock >/dev/null
then
oscam_rs
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R deadlock error detected"` >> /var/log/oscam_restart_log
else
echo "ok"
fi

Very nice master g You did a great job issuing it in .ipk.

Hey, that's what I', but I have an error, it's not responding.

#!/bin/sh
remove_tmp () {
rm -rf /tmp/*.info* /tmp/*.tmp*
}
oscam_rs () {
killall -9 oscam-stable 2>/dev/null
sleep 3
remove_tmp
/usr/bin/oscam-stable -b
}

if ! ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c /usr/bin/oscam-stable >/dev/null
then
oscam_rs
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R process was not working"` >> /media/usb/tmp/oscam_restart_log
elif
tail -8 /media/usb/tmp/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c ins40 >/dev/null
then
oscam_rs
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R ins40 error detected"` >> /media/usb/tmp/oscam_restart_log
elif
tail -8 /media/usb/tmp/oscam.log |grep -v grep |grep -c deadlock >/dev/null
then
oscam_rs
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R deadlock error detected"` >> /media/usb/tmp/oscam_restart_log
else
echo "ok"
fi

oscam ist rename oscam-stable.

This I put to a file oscamcheck.sh und upload /etc/init.d/ i have PLI 2.1.

In the cron I entered */5 * * * * /etc/init.d/oscamcheck.sh But it doesn't work. I really I don't know how to go on, it Will someone please?

As of ubuntu 10.04 don't use the name oscam in the script or the logfile.
Name it ServerOK.sh or Ubuntu will always find an instance of "oscam"!

Hi,

does anyone know if this script would work with the Raspberry PI please?

Thanks
Calisto

I tryed this script on my raspberry and set cron for 1 minute, but instead of checking the oscam and restarting if it's stoped it will restart it every minute.

Can someone adapt it for raspberry ? Thanks.

Hi GeorgeXL,

did you get this set up on your PI & if you did any chance of a walk through please?

Thanks
Calisto

No succes, sorry.

No Worries m8, if you do can you post here & I will do the same :-)

Have just got this from a good friend to help with restarting oscam if it stops:

ssh into your pi now
with putty

type
ps ax
press enter
should give u a big long list of crap

in that list will be oscam running
just look for the word oscma

on the left of them they will be given a number ID
ie... 15532
or something
could be anything

sudo kill -9 ***

so now type
cd /usr/local/bin or wherever your oscam is
then type
sudo ./oscam -b -r 2

Oscam.log folder -- history
