Crashplan "Could not find JAR file" since 6.5 update

Since the 6.5 upgrade my crashplan install has quit working. It had been running just fine. Now, when I do a "./CrashPlanEngine status", I get this error message:     "Could not find JAR file /usr/...

No problem John,

 

Just had to repeat my above instructions, I had previously upgraded the ReadyNAS version to 6.5.1 which meant I had the wrong version of CPIO

 

Crashplan then tried to update itself to 4.8 on the 10th October and the installer blew up (because of busybox version of cpio).

Just swaped out cpio, uninstalled and reinstalled as per my prevous instructions.

 

For headless mode I don't use an SSH tunnel to connect so you will need to grab your uuid from /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info and make sure crashplan is listening by editing /usr/local/crashplan/conf/my.service.xml and change localhost to 0.0.0.0 or your local network eg 10.10.10.0 and restart.

I have asked engineering if we really need to use the busybox version of cpio. If not, it should be easy to change things so that we don't overwrite a standalone cpio package with a symlink to busybox on a firmware update.
