hello
i have a problem because my oscam server crashes about once a day, have to reboot it by hand or telnet.
there is a script to restart oscam.
but its a bit beyond my skills.
don,t know where to start, could somebody help out please.
the script is this http://linuxsat-support.com/os…w-oscam-check-script.html
the server is dm500, image evolution 2.5.
what do you mean?
thanks

This script requires you to setup a cron on your dm500 to start the script. Look within your menus for cron manager, if you find it post screenshots of the menu and we can help you set it up step by step.
thanks m8
i cant find any cron business on my dream.
the only thing i find is crontab busybox with dcc ftp in my dream.
any idea where to look, maybe my image has no cron manager?
thanks
el pirate
yeah crontab is the feature . you setup in there but on some images there is no front end or gui
telnet to the box and type "crontab -e" then your cron task there in usual format

thanks m8
this is what i get with telnet
what do you mean?
i think this image has no cron built in. now
can i install cron manually to my image?
or are there images they have cron built in?
thanks

what image are you using ??
try pli jade 3 enigma 1
yes amigo, i tried pli jade image and go to "services to run" (system settings)
and here is crond smiling hehe
i start it and try a telnet session now, go for "crontab -e" and here we go ready to put the script in!
about the script i want, it is to restart the cam (oscam) after a crash, cause its crashing sometimes.
i found about 10 diferent versions strolling around with googgle, so i am not to sure what to do now.
could you help out a bit?
do you have to know where oscam is located?
what do you mean?
thanks el pirate:spiderman:

is it ok with telnet?

thanks for
el pirate
could anybody ?
hi m8s
this script from new2linux, thanks
#!/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

my oscam is located /var/bin
my box is a dm500 e1
image open pli 3
how would the script look like oscam is on /var/bin
thank u

pirate .
1st to do is copy and paste this -
#!/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 /var/bin/oscam >> /var/log/oscam.log &
else
echo "oscam is still OK!" >> /var/log/oscam.check
fi
and save it as filename oscamcheck.sh
transfer that file to your dm500 to say /var/bin
give oscamcheck.sh attributes 755 with command chmod 755 as usual.
ok now for the crontab bit
telnet into box as root user and use command crontab -e
then you simply do your variables for script to run every fiveminutes and give location of your script which in your case is /var/bin/oscamcheck.sh
good luck amigo

thanks m8, i am getting there, any idea to where to find how to set up crontab?
saludos
el pirate
yes mate do via telnet as root user
crontab -e method
or maybe easier method for you goto cd /etc
then type command vim /crontab
then input
*/5 * * * * /var/bin/oscamcheck.sh ............ save and exit
this will execute oscam check script every 5 minutes
Also, here’s a quick guide to understaning the layout of cron:
# MIN HOUR DAYOFMONTH MONTH DAYOFWEEK COMMAND
5 * * * * echo 'Hello'

Thata a crond job for a dm500s lad..
Not the same..
thanks m8s but cazuelas kit is a daily (or nitetime) auto reboot.
what i am after her is the reboot automatic after a crash (oscam)
i am getting there, (hopefully) thanks you lads.
theoreticly it should work soon
thanks

Once the editor loads press i to enable insert mode.
Enter the line then shift & zz to save & exit.
