Unable to stop Emulationstation in 4.1

[Matra]

I'm loving the changes in 4.1 but I've had to make my own gameslist for Dreamcast and PSP with the data I want... but I can't upload it as I can't get it [emulationstation] to stop!

There is no stop button in the 'online manager' - only Start ES and Restart ES

When SSH and sending /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop, the return is:

"Command '/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop' failed with return code 127 and error message /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation: line 24: start-stop-daemon: command not found"

Has something changed??

Hi !
you can try killall emulationstation maybe?
or kill $(pidof emulationstation)
but not sure the last command work on recalbox.

@idarius said in Unable to stop Emulationstation in 4.1:

killall emulationstation

Thanks, killall emulationstation works. Then I have to go back into the manager to restart ES.

Bit of a pain and I'm sure there's an easier way to do it all whilst SSH-d

i just tested this two commands :
/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop
/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start

it worked as intended, i'm on a fresh 4.1

are you connected with root (i think so but never hurt to ask )

[Matra]

@idarius
Yes I am, I can't see any reason why the commands won't work
Everything else does bar those two... I know it would make no difference but I thought maybe it was a R/W error so I took rw permissions of the SD card and tried again to no avail...

Real head-scratcher this one...

@matra How have you got your 4.1 ? as an update or a fresh .img ?

[Matra]

@substring as an update,

I have a fresh img to try (but trying that on the Zero for the first time later today)

[Matra]

Same error message for fresh install on Pi Zero W...

[Substring]

@matra Can't test on Pi0 now, but on my Pi3 :

# which start-stop-daemon
/sbin/start-stop-daemon

weird ...

@substring
Found the issue, it's to do with the terminal within WinSCP - which works lovely on 4.0.2 but doesn't want to stop/start.

Opening in Putty and it works fine...

[Substring]

@matra WinSCP to pass some commands ... shame
