Evaluation version - WDL upload frequency? - [Solved]

could you please try to run this statement in your ssh shell? It is a test if the recognition whether a process is already running works ok on your rig.

Code: Select all

[ -n "`/bin/pidof /home/meteohub/meteoschedule`" ] || echo "found"

As meteoschedule should be running (please check with "ps ax" ) the statement above should return "found".

I tried this and do not get return, though meteoschedule is running.

Code: Select all

meteohub:~# ps ax

Details here, I am running Ubuntu 9.10 NBR as host system and the Meteohub Virtual in VM Player 3 inside that, so I have not really ported it as such, just running your VM.

I would love to be able it run it natively in Ubuntu 9.10 someday as I feel the VM may be problematic.

After an automatic reboot of meteohub at 01:00, there have not been any problems with it today 21.5 hours later.

I wonder if the cron might be getting confused when NTP steps the time by a fraction of second. This happens quite a lot in the VM.

Please find out why "/bin/pidof /home/meteohub/meteoschedule" does not report the process id of the psecified process.

I did not understand exactly what your previous -n and || did, but it did not return found, however pidof can tell what the process id is.

The good news is that meteohub continued to run all yesterday without a problem and today also so far.

Question:
Is there any plan to produce meteohub as a direct install into an existing linux system? I would be interested in running it in my Asus Ubuntu 9.10 rather than in Debian inside a VM.

sorry that doesn't make sense. When a pid is reported statement above will echo "found". could you please check again?

Code: Select all

[ -n 
"`/bin/pidof /home/meteohub/meteoschedule`" ] || echo "found"

Please type in without line breaks and make sure you type the back-quotes right ( ` ).

Well I tried it again, I copied and pasted and it looks right - Is it perhaps echoing on some other screen?

Code: Select all

meteohub:~# [ -n "`/bin/pidof /home/meteohub/meteoschedule`" ] || echo "found" 
meteohub:~# 

If I type echo "test" I do get test back, so echo works, just that -n command does not.

I have not changed anything, but I am happy to report that all is working well for over 2 days now. Perhaps it was some temporary problem with my ISP?
