Easy fix fan/temp OS6 issues on x86 legacy #no support

With your guidance I think I just figured out what is wrong with my script. See below:

root@ReadyNAS-U4:/usr/local/etc/scripts# ./UpdateTempGraph.cron
-bash: ./UpdateTempGraph.cron: Permission denied

I'm guessing I should have made the script executable. . . Correct?

Would the command

#chmod +x /usr/local/etc/scripts/UpdateTempGraph.cron

be sufficient?

If you type these commands :

1) cd /
2) find . | grep syslog

It should search all files for anything with syslog in the name or path

ps -A will list all processes running -try it

ps -A | grep syslogd will list any processes with syslogd in them. I am not sure if os6 has this and can't check right now.

Yes your script must have execute rights

Chmod 777 yourscriptname

Should sort it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that is bizarre?

In case anyone cares. . . I finally got the graph working!

As it turns out it was likely a permissions problem ALL ALONG :oops:



Still something not quite right though. I just checked the ambient room temperature which is approximately 82 degrees F. How can the CPU temperature be 79 degrees F? As I watch the graph over time both temperatures are dropping slightly every minute. The System temperature seems reasonable. It is currently 97 degrees F. I'll keep an eye on things for a while and report back later. . .

So now that I have the temperature graph working (kind of), the next step is to work out a few details. So this is what the top of my Performance GUI looks like:



and this is what the temperature graph looks like now:



So my questions are:
1.) As you can see from the upper screenshot, both fans indicate 5355 RPM's in spite of running through the "pwmconfig" instructions detailed previously in this thread. Can I assume that by running OS6 on legacy hardware that those numbers will never represent actual fan speeds?
2.) Based on what I saw during the pwmconfig process, is it safe to assume that the Ultra 4 has no CPU fan at all?
3.) Likewise, are the three graphical thermometers and their corresponding values also just static images and text? I ask because i have NEVER seen any of them change to any other value than what you see above.
4.) If number 3 above is true, why do you suppose that the CPU value is 5 degrees (F) higher than the other two?

Thoughts from the ReadyNAS community at large welcomed. . .

The graph temps are wrong because readynasd is writing false info to the rrd file every minute as well as your script.
This is why it needs patching as described previously.

Gotchya. . . Again, that task is above the effort I'm willing to go. I just finished turning my little old Ultra 4 into an eight Camera IP Surveillance Network Video Recorder without having to pay NTGR's exorbitant $400 licensing fee. :woot:

I think I'll just be happy with what I've got going on for now; and see if any creative and talented community members attempt to resolve some of these GUI shortfalls on legacy hardware sometime in the future. Thanks again for your help earlier!

Signing off for now. . .

Best wishes,

Hi,

In my Pro 6 the temperature bars are decreasing as well. My box reads values from the file /run/readynasd/stats/temperature_int_deg.rrd abou 10 sec after the minute and then writes the new values to the file at about 56 sec. after the minute. It looks for me that the value read 10 sec after the minute references the minute before. So my quick fix is to make a copy of temperature_int_deg.rrd file modify the script provided by Iridabike so that it updates the copy and overwrites the file temperature_int_deg.rrd with the copy before 10 sec after the minute. So my script looks like:

#!/bin/sh
#######################################################
sleep 30
Coretemp="/sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.2576/temp1_input"
Systemp="/sys/devices/platform/w83627ehf.2576/temp2_input"
Ct=`/bin/cat $Coretemp`
C=`/usr/bin/expr $Ct / 1000`
St=`/bin/cat $Systemp`
S=`/usr/bin/expr $St / 1000`
/usr/bin/rrdtool update /run/readynasd/stats/temperature_int_deg.rrd.custom N:$C:$S
sleep 30
cp -f /run/readynasd/stats/temperature_int_deg.rrd.custom /run/readynasd/stats/temperature_int_deg.rrd

It works for me just fine. I hope that helps.

P.S.
I'm still looking for a solution on updating the values under those nice temperature and fan animations :D .

Dear xmansss,
Thank you for sharing your idea. Perhaps I'll give that a try after I get some sleep :shhh:

Well, if you do happen to figure that out, please do come back and share how you did it!

Take care,
