Re: Script runs differently from cron

@RaTTuS- i'm not sure I understand, I thought everything was on the sd card...where are /tmp files stored then?


@rpdom- thanks, that makes sense to me now!

Re: Script runs differently from cron

Ok, it works now. I used which and changed the relevant line in the script to /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 > iwcheck.txt

Thanks for all your contributions :D

one question remains though- why do I not need to add /sbin before ip addr show too?

Re: Script runs differently from cron

@rpdom - yes there is no command iwcheck, sorry that's a typo but only in this post , the script has iwconfig > iwcheck.txt cron doesn't set the path. You'll need to use the full path when running commands from a script run by cron. e.g /bin/iwconfig rather than just iwconfig If this is the case why...

Re: Screenly OSE -- Digital Signage for the Raspberry Pi

Thanks again VP.

That's good. I think the price is good too, considering the advantages it has over other methods.

One question I have been asked is "what happens if the Screenly server goes down?" What are you able to tell me to help with any concerns over reliability/resilience?

Cheers,
J

Re: Screenly OSE -- Digital Signage for the Raspberry Pi

Hi Viktor Thanks for the fast reply! I shouId say, the longer gaps are been between video and video. I have been tinkering today and find that the length of gap seems proportional to the size of file, as you suggest. e.g. 2sec before a 2MB clip and 6sec before 20MB It is not a major issue for me, I ...

Re: Screenly OSE -- Digital Signage for the Raspberry Pi

Hi I have been using Screenly OSE for about 6 months, I am very happy with it. But I have recently noticed a problem that I don't think was there before:- Previously there was no gap between images and usually 1-2 seconds between videos. Since last week I find that, once a screen has been running fo...
