Hello,

I try to run a self-created script via my MeteoBridge RPI, unfortunately only the error message in the sending monitor: 2026-09-18 08:26:40 Error: 2026-09-18 08:26:38 Script failed: (no more tries):

I uploaded the script to the Scripts directory on the MeteoBridge under /data/scripts, in the Events tab, under Select Service, I selected Script Execution. Then select predefined script -> my. Script selected -> Clicked to load script and then click on save. The script is passed as parameter the ground temperature 4: [soil4temp-act.0]

here is the script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# rain_duration.sh (Meteobridge event version)
#------------------------------------------------
# Is periodically set by Meteobridge itself by "events" (events)
# called (e.g. every minute), with the current sensor value as
# first parameter. In the Meteobridge surface in the parameter field
# of the event simply enter:
#
# [soil4temp-act.0]
#
# Meteobridge automatically replaces this with the current value before
# the script is called - the script gets it as $1.
#
# IMPORTANT: Pure POSIX-sh (no bash, no bc, no curl), since
# Meteobridge only brings a slimmed down BusyBox environment.

Can someone tell me why the script is not running? Thank you!
The FTP parameters are of course correctly entered in the original script...
