Homegear restarts every 10 minutes

Hi,
I’ve installed the image from https://homegear.eu/downloads/rpi_homegear_jessie_20160417_openhab.zip on my rPi. I’ve seen in my logs that Homegear is restarted every 10 minutes. Does someone know a reason for this behaviour?

Can you post your homegear.log?

The restart is caused by the included script /scripts/checkServices.sh. This script is executed every 10 minutes as a cronjob. So maybe the script is faulty?

Hi,

sorry for the late reply. So it works, when you disable the cron job? What is the output of

ps -A | grep homegear -c

That’s basically what “checkServices.sh” is executing.

Cheers

Yes, no restarts when the cron job is disabled.

pi@raspberrypi:~$ ps -A | grep homegear -c 2

[code]pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo cat /scripts/checkServices.sh
#!/bin/bash
return=0
if [ $return -lt 1 ] && test -e /var/run/homegear/homegear.pid; then
LOGDIR=/var/log/homegear
if test -e $LOGDIR/core; then
COREDIR=$LOGDIR/coredumps
mkdir -p $COREDIR
DIR=0
while test -d $COREDIR/$DIR; do
((DIR++))
done
COREDIR=$COREDIR/$DIR
mkdir -p $COREDIR
mv $LOGDIR/core $COREDIR
mv $LOGDIR/homegear.log $COREDIR
mv $LOGDIR/homegear.err $COREDIR
cp /usr/bin/homegear $COREDIR
fi

    /etc/init.d/homegear restart

fi
[/code]

[code]pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo bash -x /scripts/checkServices.sh

Thanks! There was an error in the image (it shouldn’t say in the script “return=0”), which is fixed now.

Updated today -> Homegear version 0.6.6-1463

Homegear restarts every 10 Min. Cronjob disabled -> all fine

ps -A | grep homegear -c 1

[code]#!/bin/bash
return=0
if [ $return -lt 1 ] && test -e /var/run/homegear/homegear.pid; then
LOGDIR=/var/log/homegear
if test -e $LOGDIR/core; then
COREDIR=$LOGDIR/coredumps
mkdir -p $COREDIR
DIR=0
while test -d $COREDIR/$DIR; do
((DIR++))
done
COREDIR=$COREDIR/$DIR
mkdir -p $COREDIR
mv $LOGDIR/core $COREDIR
mv $LOGDIR/homegear.log $COREDIR
mv $LOGDIR/homegear.err $COREDIR
cp /usr/bin/homegear $COREDIR
fi

    /etc/init.d/homegear restart

fi
[/code]

without return = 0 -> all fine

#8

I removed the script now, as with systemd it is obsolete anyway.
