How can I add a key combination to restart vdr in yaVDR 0.3a?

Hi.

Sometimes I found hanged vdr in yaVDR 0.3a. Then I have to connect by mean ssh in order to execute "sudo restart vdr" and make it work again.

How can I do the same thing using remote control and a key combination?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot.

I will try your solution.

The problem I have is that one you mentioned. The screen freezes from time to time.

I let you know the result of my tries.

Regards and thanks again.

I am sorry.

Before asigning the final button I made a try with Stop button creating /etc/lirc/lircrc with this code:

begin
 prog    =  irexec
 button  = Stop
 repeat  =  0
 config  =  sudo /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger 
end

Then I restarted, but nothing happens pressing Stop button.

What else can I try?

Thanks

Does it work if you omit sudo?

Nop, I tried it before.

It is only a guess, but is the command that you want to execute with sudo in the sudoers file?

Yes, it is in sudoers file for "ALL" commands of user "VDR".

Is irexec running?
--
ps -AF | grep irexec
--

Is irexec running as root? Then you do not need sudo. Because root is allowed to run all commands.

BTW:
with
--
ircat --config=/etc/lirc/lircrc irexec
--
you could test your lircrc file. Press Button "Stop" and you should get "sudo /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger" printet on the console.

Hi:

ps -AF | grep irexec

returns

1631  1619  0   835   832   1 20:00 pts/1	00:00:00 grep --color=auto irexec

and with

ircat --config=/etc/lirc/lircrc irexec

when I press Stop button, it returns

sudo /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger

Does that means that it is working?

Then, anyone with knowledge of yavdr 0.3a can help with the issue?

Hi again.

Summarizing, does someone knows and can write a litle example for configuring the remote control to execute the command proposed by seahawk1986 "sudo /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger" by pressing the key combination "Stop-Nine-Stop" in yaVDR 0.3a?

Regards.

Hi, I achieved restart vdr-sxfe using a key combination in my remote control with yavdr 0.3a.
I guess it could be made more easily but my knowledge in linux is basic.

First of all, I created a file named "StopNineStopKeys" with:

#nano StopNineStopKeys

containing:

begin
    prog   = irexec
    button = Stop
    button = Nine
    button = Stop
    config = /usr/bin/killall vdr-sxfe -9 | /usr/bin/logger
end

Then I changed owner (I do not know if necessary) with:

#sudo chown vdr:vdr StopNineStopKeys

After that, I created another file named "StopNineStop" that is a script:

#nano StopNineStop

containing:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/irexec -d /path_To_StopNineStopKeys/StopNineStopKeys &
exit

Then I changed owner (I do not know if necessary) with:

#sudo chown vdr:vdr StopNineStop

And I made it executable:

#sudo chmod +x StopNineStop

I copied StopNineStop to /etc/init.d/

#sudo cp StopNineStop /etc/init.d/

And I force it to execute every time the system starts:

#sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/StopNineStop /etc/rc2.d/S99StopNineStop
#sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/StopNineStop /etc/rc3.d/S99StopNineStop
#sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/StopNineStop /etc/rc4.d/S99StopNineStop
#sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/StopNineStop /etc/rc5.d/S99StopNineStop

After restart the system I can recover the freezing of the screen by pressing Stop-9-Stop keys.

Hi.

I have a problem with the proposed solution. I tried it restarting the computer and it worked perfectly, but today I did a complete shutdown, but the script for launching irexec has not been executed when the computer booted up.

Someone can tell me if there are something wrong in the proposed solution?

Thanks.

Hi.

I thought that it was precisely what I was doing. Do not should the links in etc/rcX.d/S99StopNineStop do what you are proposing? They work correctly with a reboot but not from a total shutdown.

I will try googling deeply...

Thanks.
