    Hello to you all,
    I now have oscam all running i want to add a script to my stb to check oscam is running and if not to restart it automatically can anyone point me in the right direction i have a script and edited it but stuck at the crontab part i am unsure how to setup a crond job for every 5 minutes.



    Thank you in advance.

    think I must be doping something wrong as I have this script


    ###########systemlinuxs#########!
    #!/bin/sh
    if ps x |grep -v grep |grep -c oscam_9790>/dev/null
    then
    echo "oscam_9790... ok"
    else
    echo "oscam_9790... restarting"
    /usr/bin/oscam_9790 &
    fi



    names check.sh attributes set to 775 located in /usr/script


    and then in /etc/cron/crontabs in the root file I have this to check every minute the script


    * * * * * /usr/script/check.sh



    is there something I have missed ?


    - - - Updated - - -


    p.s my oscam in usr/bin is names oscam_9790


    - - - Updated - - -


    also tried this crontab


    */1 * * * * /usr/script/check.sh

    what image are you using


    cuz
    in the script i would tell the cam script to start oscam
    not try and start via the /usr/bin



    i use openpli4
    with oscam-ymod
    see how i start oscam-ymod with the cam script in red



    change the names and paths to suit


    oscam.check.sh



    #!/bin/sh
    #Script to check if oscam_ymod is running.
    process=`ps auxwww | grep oscam_ymod | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
    if [ -z '$process' ]; then
    echo "Couldn't find oscam_ymod running Restarting oscam_ymod Server" >> /var/log/oscam.check
    echo && date >> /var/log/oscam.check
    Sleep 1
    /etc/init.d/softcam.oscam_ymod start
    echo "oscam_ymod is still OK!" >> /var/log/oscam.check
    fi



    make a oscam.check log flie with telnet


    touch /var/log/oscam.check


    chmod 644 /var/log/oscam.check



    crontab


    */5 * * * * /usr/script/oscam.check.sh

    I am using an amino alien shd 8900 with openatv 4.1e2 image to be honest it's the only image I have got to work reliably so stuck with it
