subsonic stops

Thanks dsm1212. In my case, there already IS a line: SUBSONIC=1 in the /etc/default/services file, but the indicator does not remain on. (That is, I did not just add the line -- it has been there.)

I'd like to see your cron script -- I'd like to see how you launch subsonic if it is not running. I didn't know how to find the parameters to pass unless I examined the output of 'ps aux' just before the command that causes subsonic to die. I'm curious how to do this the "right" way.

Thanks,

Weird that you already had the line and still have the problem. The one should change to a zero when you turn the service off and back when you turn it on. Maybe its the last line in the file and needs a newline?

The script is in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=50677&start=15.

It actually will only restart once because then it was started by cron and not apache so it doesn't die every day. I had it running every 15 minutes but you could probably just run it after the daily job that on my system runs at 6:25. Now here's the thing I just realized, I had gone through some upgrade downgrades and I no longer had the cron job set up, but my subsonic has not been crashing. I'm thinking a subsonic update must have started handling the signal correctly. I've got subsonic 4.7 final installed now. What version are you seeing this on?

Hi Steve. I am using 4.7 Beta 3 (is the ReadyNAS addon for 4.7 final available anywhere?).

I'll try moving the line to the end of the file, and I will ensure that it has a newline.

Thanks.

Super posted 4.7 final recently, but I'm pretty sure I was running 4.7 beta 3 without the job there too, so I don't know why it stopped crashing every day on my system. Here's the latest script I have on my system.

Steve

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$(ps -ef | grep subsonic | grep java | wc -l)" = "0" ]
then
date >> /var/log/run_subsonic.log 2>&1
/c/webroot/subsonic/subsonic.sh>> /var/log/run_subsonic.log 2>&1
fi

4.7 Final has been out a while now, so i sent Super a message asking him if we could get our grubby mitts on it. He posted it straight up. Go Super-Poussin!

;)

Shouldn't I see an "update" option in Front View for the subsonic add-on? I'd like to update the add-on the "official" way.

Thanks!

iit's here viewtopic.php?f=48&t=45661 since a long time

Automatic Update Notifications haven't worked on the x86 FW for me since at least 4.2.18 in either IE or FF.

I think it's a known issue, as this has been mentioned several times in the forums.

EDIT: Also, even when it did "work" some add-ons would download but then fail to install automatically, still requiring a manual update. There's nothing less "official" about downloading it manually than doing it internally. The add-ons (for the most part) are still coming from the same place, your just applying it manually, rather than letting the NAS do it.

This obviously doesn't work for WhoCares' add-ons as they need to be purchased seperately from his site, but you get the point. I keep backup versions of every version of every add-on I use / install, so that in the event of a Factory Reset being required I can re-apply them en-masse. Another thing I saw, was the NAS was a lot slower downloading and applying add-ons automatically than me doing it myself. It was a nice addition but not essential, and obviously a bit tempremental. I've not seen anything to suggest the functionality was removed, but that doesn't mean it was or wasn't. I just haven't seen a post declaring the fact.

Ah, ok. Do I need to (or should I) uninstall the version I currently have installed before installing the new vesrion? I wasn't sure if performing an update cleaned up old stuff before installing new stuff.

Thanks!

I wouldn't uninstall unless the addon is wedged and you're trying to fix that by starting from scratch. Running the addon install from the install window or doing an update from the addon list is really equivalent.
