How to Reboot ReadyNAS Pro 4 through command line?

Hi,

I have a ReadyNAS Pro 4, which was working fine since yesterday and now from a server on the same network I can ping my readynas IP and I can ssh into the ReadyNAS as well, but I don't get the frontview on firefox and IE.

I did clear the cash on both, which didn't help.

I want to reboot (NOT shutdown) the ReadyNAS as I can ssh into it. I am far away from my ReadyNAS!

Is the any straight forward/ no hasle command to do a reboot through command line on ReadyNAS?

Thanks in advance.

    Do you have any add-ons installed?

    Can you post the output of the following?:

    tail /var/log/frontview/error.log

    tail /var/log/frontview/error.log


    Really appreciate your prompt response.

    I did manage to call somebody near by the ReadyNAS and asked them to reboot it for me. After reboot, It all works fine and I can now access the frontview.

    But, still would be good to know what caused the issue and if that would happen again later!

    Yes, I have Egnyte Cloud back up add-on and Replicate as well.

    The result for trail gives me five lines of:


    dir: `/c/ELC/.log': Permission denied
    chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/bin/egnyte/esystrace.sh': Operation not permitted


    Would that give you a hint on what was going on?

    Thanks again.

    You mean output of the tail command I gave?

    I'd suggest contacting Egnyte about this issue as it clearly appears to be related to the Egnyte add-on.

    Typically when Frontview access is lost the solution is to fix problem and restart Frontview if manually rebooting (safely shutting down pressing power button briefly twice) doesn't address the issue.

    Thanks, will follow that up with Egnyte, if ever happen again.
  • Today this happen again, and frontview is unavailable. Below is the error.log last few lines.

    What can be the "Invalid method in request"! Any idea would be appreciated.

    What's the output of

    df -h

    Can you try restarting Frontview?:

    # /usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -t && /usr/sbin/apache-ssl -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k graceful


    If you are accessing the NAS remotely note that you can pipe Frontview over SSH. See http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=46303
  • Just before restarting the ReadyNAS This is the result of tail .../frontview/error.log

    ReadyNAS IP is 192.168.1.30 and the server I use to connect to NAS has the IP 192.168.1.10

    The result of df -h is:


    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/md0 4.0G 715M 3.1G 19% /
    tmpfs 16K 0 16K 0% /USB
    /dev/c/c 2.7T 754G 2.0T 28% /c
    tmpfs 50M 0 50M 0% /var/replicate/shm
    /dev/sdf1 1.9T 777G 1.1T 42% /USB/USB_HDD_1



    Now that the backup is working fine, I prefere not to touch the apache-ssl for now. But if the frontView goes down again I'll try restarting apache-ssl rather than restarting the NAS. Keep you updated on that...

    Tried the SSH tunnel, it works fine now. I should try that when the frontview is down.

    Would be great to hear your comments on the last error log I inserted above.

    Thanks for the help.
