custom.sh problems (again!)

[stigzler]

Hi folks,

Since new update, this function appears to be broken again...

I have recalbox pointing to a a usb3 drive as the main drive. On it, under shares/system, I have the script "custom.sh":

#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting Cutom.sh"
recallog "Starting FANCONTROL"
python fanControl.py

fanControl.py runs a fan script.

if I explore the log, it shows that it IS automatically running the script:

[       21.95] Starting S94manager
[       22.14] ... Starting manager v2
[       22.39] Starting pm2
[      844.02] Starting FANCONTROL
[      939.45] Starting FANCONTROL
[      969.53] Stopping Emulationstation
[      969.53] Stopping Emulationstation

However, the fan doesn't run.

If I putty in and run via:

./custom.sh

it does run!

So - what's going on here!?

UPDATE:
updated my script to:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting Cutom.sh"
recallog "Starting FANCONTROL"
recallog "Current Directory: " 
recallog $PWD
/usr/bin/python /recalbox/share/system/fanControl.py

Still no joy.
Weird log, though:

[ 22.45] ... Starting manager v2
[ 22.66] Starting pm2
[ 106.81] Starting FANCONTROL
[ 106.83] Current Directory:
[ 106.85] /recalbox/share/system
[ 157.25] Starting FANCONTROL
[ 157.28] Current Directory:
[ 157.37] /recalbox/share/system
[ 179.70] Starting FANCONTROL
[ 179.72] Current Directory:
[ 179.74] /
[ 6.91] No need to upgrade configuration files

@Substring - hey fella - you helped with this last time - any ideas?

Sorry to b*mp my own post, but desperately trying to get this recalbox setup so I can post it this weekend to a friend who lives in France for xmas!

nemmind. Sussed it:

	#!/bin/bash
	echo "Starting Cutom.sh"
	recallog "Custom.sh called"
	case "$1" in 
	   start)  
			 recallog "Start detected. Starting fan script"
			/usr/bin/python /recalbox/share/system/fanControl.py	 
			 ;;  
	   stop)  
			 recallog "Stop detected."
			 ;;  
	   restart|reload)  
			 recallog "Restart|Reload detected"
			 ;;  
	   *)  
			recallog "Other state detected..."
	esac  

	exit $?

@stigzler if the recallog works fine but bot the python script, i'd have a look at the script

On the other hand if your customs.sh works on commandline, looks line an environment problem.

Anyway, you should a annampersand & at the end oh hour python command line, no need to hold init because of your script

[stigzler]

thanks @Substring , but the most recent code appears to work fine. NOt sure what you mean about the ampersand, but hopefully won't need it as so far so good!

[Substring]

@stigzler I mean /usr/bin/python /recalbox/share/system/fanControl.py & so that the process goes to background in multiprocessing. Otherwise you just lock the init script and never give the hand back.

What is your python script ? you should, for debug, run your script in custom.sh like /usr/bin/python /recalbox/share/system/fanControl.py 2>&1 | recallog & and see what the recalbox.log mentions
