is there cccam restart app?

[lambo]

is there an app or a script of some sort to restart cccam at a certain time for the 500s,

Pretty sure you can get cron to run on a dreambox. Then its pretty easy to write a small script that kills CCcam and then restarts it.

edit:

Cant remember if cron is available or not on dm500 but you can easily find out using something like -

crontab -e

then insert the following and save
* * * * * /bin/checkcccam.sh

that should run a script file called checkcccam.sh (in /bin) every minute.

You will need to make sure checkcccam.sh has the correct priviledges (chmod 755 checkcccam.sh )

The script can be as simple or complex as you need it to be

A very simple one might be -

killall CCcam
./path_to_cccam/CCcam

or you might choose the check if CCcam is running and only restart if it isn't !!!

If you want CCcam to restart at a particular time look up how to set cron times. There's loads of stuff on the internet (its pretty easy).

Bit fuzzy cos its a long long time since I played with linux on dm500's but i'm sure you get the idea. Maybe somebody can clean it up a bit.

You can kill it on Standby and resume on leaving standby with a couple of scripts.

enigma_enter_standby.sh and enigma_leave_standby.sh

Put "killall -9 CCcam" in the first and "CCcam" in the second without the "" (assuming your CCcam is called CCcam, it has to be the exact name and case). Make sure the scripts are linux compatible, I use Ultraedit. Then put them in /var/etc and CHMOD to 755

Then when you go into standby, CCcam stops and when you exit standby, it starts again.

Thanks for the replies, ive found when I leave it on a sub channel on standby cccam2.1.4 needs to be restarted but if on a fta channel it seams to be ok.

There appears to be a glaring bug in some dreambox image implementations where standby mode actually stops a lot of things from working properly !

All that should really happen in standby these days is the turning off of the video/audio outputs. Everything else should continue to work as if the box were in normal mode (hence why standby rarely actually saves power on most digiboxes - they usually have to still be passing EMM's etc to the card)

Well it does work well on standby, latley I was getting calls from relative to ask if someting was wrong and I found I had to restart cccam but only when left on a sub channel, its the pli image and generally works very well.
