Schedueled restart

[geiro]

I have been having some problems with Meteohub/ALIX3D2 having after short power outages (unplug/plugin, >1 sec) and have chosen to restart once a week, does anyone have experience with how stable this is? Is it ok? It is as a extra safety so I have max 1 week downtime if the power outage happens again. If it is considered safe/stable I might want to restart every day.

Is the restart of the whole linux system or only the application?

Hi,

I'm running on an Alix 1D and I'm booting on a weekly basis. This works pretty good, normally I see that it takes 90-150 seconds to come back online, so not that much of an impact.

Yes, this is a reboot of the entire system, cron will issue a "/sbin/shutdown -r now" and the meteohub application will make sure that it will not recompute the data, since it's an orderly shutdown.

In the past I've been running daily reboots, but since the Vantage reconnect logic has improved by Boris, there is no longer a need for that.

Hi geiro

My recent experience with auto reboot has been less positive
Since about v4.7o up to the latest my weekly auto reboots have been 100% UNsuccessful
BUT
Pressing reboot on the console - maintenance page has worked every time

Normal day to day operation is OK

For the moment I've turned off the auto feature and stuck a PostIt note on the screen to remind me

I've tried to attached this mornings log as an example but I can't find a file type the website system likes

It looks as though there is a difference in the procedure meteohub uses for auto and manual reboots (way outside my skillset)
