  • Testing fix for older Debian feed status

    The systemd service has already started fr24feed.
    Why you have to start it again by any other command?

    To check status, use this command:
    Code:
    abcd@ubuntu-bionic:~$ sudo systemctl status fr24feed 
    
    [sudo] password for abcd:

    I'm unsure that is accurate across all versions.

    I had a user reply to me, straight up tell me I was wrong. And that on his linux install the <space> --status | was the only valid one.

    Just as Stealth found, while the later version Pi Build, includes fr24feed-service.
    Similar needs to be investigated on .deb packages and older versions. As once upon a time 'fr24feed-status' didn't exist.

    $ sudo service fr24feed status

    And some more digging.

    fr24feed-status was only introduced in 19-5 and above. I believe the debian packages are 18-5? which pre-dates this. (well and truely)
    (also why I said I'm unconvinced that's a valid option for non-DVBT receivers)

    if
    cat /dev/shm/decoder.txt
    exists - this is the raw output file the decoder service writes when running.

    This is what fr24feed-status looks at and visually displays a better status to give an idea on what failed. May work on 18-5 too?

    sudo nano /usr/bin/fr24feed-status

    #!/bin/bash

    . /lib/lsb/init-functions

    MONITOR_FILE=/dev/shm/decoder.txt

    systemctl status fr24feed 2>&1 >/dev/null || {

      The command fr24feed-status works perfect on RPi, but fails on .deb (i386 ) and and executable binary (amd64).

      Code:

        Well, unless it was his particular linux version pre init.d removal *shrug*

        Can't find the original post (I probably found it in wrong area) and --service isn't an exact searchable term

        Does creating the fr24feed-service function (above) work at all on the 18-5

            I realise thats the service confirmed active. However I mean re-creating this..
            I'm unsure that is accurate across all versions. I had a user reply to me, straight up tell me I was wrong. And that on his linux install the <space> --status | was the only valid one. Just as Stealth found, while the later version Pi Build, includes fr24feed-service. Similar needs to be investigated on .deb packages


            /usr/bin/fr24feed-status (new command included with Pi) just greps /dev/shm/decoder.txt (also found on the web config page) to the abbreviated status by checking for active decoder and so on

            Remember when we changed from Jessie to stretch and everyone took issue with the service output like you posted...

              Not advertised. But :8754/monitor.txt still exists (on a Pi at least - perhaps still debian)
