ReadyNAS Egnyte command line tools

Would be great to get a quick list of helpful commands for viewing logs, permissions and such when using SSH with the readynas.

  • Hello. Here's a list of some common commands that you can use with your ReadyNAS. Please let me know if you have any questions!

    Log File Location
    (OLC) - /c/ELC/.log
    Below are examples to open the log file locally.
    less /c/ELC/.log/dm.log
    less /c/ELC/.log/processor.log
    You can use up and down arrow keys, or pgup and pgdn keys to scroll to the page.
    Type 'q' to quit.
    processor.log - sync related errors
    dm.log - drive monitor errors (i.e. local activity)

    Tail a Log file
    You can tail a log file while running a sync to see running activity.
    tail -f /c/ELC/.log/dm.log
    tail -f /c/ELC/.log/processor.log
    Click Shift+Ctrl+C to stop the tail of logs.

    Go to a directory
    To go to a directory in Local Cloud while in SSH:
    cd /c/ELC/Shared/Foldername (For ELC simply replace /c/ELC with /egnyte)


    Copy data to another directory while keeping timestamps (RSYNC)
    This example shows rsycn of data within the NAS shares (e.g. 'Company' share to '/ELC/Shared' folder both on the NAS)
    rsync -arv /c/Company/ /c/ELC/Shared
    The next example shows rsync of data from a local folder to the Shared folder on the VM (ELC).
    rsync -arv /local/folder/ root@vm.ip:/egnyte/Shared/

    To see running egnyte processes
    ps -ef | grep egnyte
    (There are a total of 4 Egnyte services)

    Stop and start OLC service
    /etc/frontview/addons/bin/ELC/stop.sh
    /etc/frontview/addons/bin/ELC/start.sh

    To check for folder permissions, we have an interface under the OLC settings page (Tools > Folder Permissions).
