Mausberry Shutdown Script Doesn't Save Metadata

@lostless If you are obsessed by a woman or passionated by a women makes a big difference.
If you don't know then ask a judge and a producer of love toys what the difference is :) -
@cyperghost getting all philosophical on me? Lets not derail to far, but i think i clearly under stand the difference between obsession and passion. Obsession is passion gone too far, when there is no need to keep going. When all is lost, yet you continue. When the path has reached its end and you gone over the cliff. I think I'm done.................. :/
-
@lostless You're right. You may help us in outfinding the best sleeptimer :) That's your passion :) you can also use floating number like 2.5 to pause
-
You guys are awesome. I haven't tried 1.5b (adding proper exit out of the loop) on my own system yet, but it sounds like you got it working. I hate not being home today to participate more. :) Thanks everybody! When I get a chance, I will put it into place and report back my own findings.

bug report
Our method to kill the command placed on the 4th line of
/dev/shm/runcommand.info
fails to kill ScummVM emulator. This is why:[prompt]$ sed -n 4p /dev/shm/runcommand.info bash /home/meleu/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/+Start\ ScummVM.sh "ft"
Then our approach kills
bash
processes.I'm currently trying to find a strong solution. Will post it soon...

Can you guys test this one? Let's call it v1.7:
#!/bin/bash -x # Before using this script you need to install inotify-tools: # # sudo apt-get install inotify-tools # # I'm just trying to help with the script logic here. # I DON'T HAVE A MAUSBERRY AND DIDN'T TEST THE GPIO STUFF HERE! # ######################################################### # U S E I T A T Y O U R O W N R I S K ! ! ! # ######################################################### # # meleu - July/2017 # kudos for @cyperghost , who is very persistent in help you guys! :-) #this is the GPIO pin connected to the lead on switch labeled OUT GPIOpin1=23 #this is the GPIO pin connected to the lead on switch labeled IN GPIOpin2=24 echo "$GPIOpin1" > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin1/direction echo "$GPIOpin2" > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin2/direction echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin2/value file="/sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin1/value" # up to here this code is executed at booting (/etc/rc.local) # let's wait for the creation of the "/sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin1/value" sleep 30 # not sure if 30 seconds is a good value... while inotifywait -qq -e modify "$file" ; do power="$(cat "$file")" [[ "$power" == 0 ]] && continue # explaining the crazy command below: # 1. get 4th line of runcommand.info (aka "emulator command") # 2. delete backslash '\' character # 3. replace every character that has a special meaning in a regex context with a dot '.' emu_command="$(sed -n 4p /dev/shm/runcommand.info | tr -d '\\"' | tr '^$[]*.()|+?{}' '.')"

I did a trick for debugging, then if this script doesn't work, please perform this command:
grep 'rc\.local' /var/log/syslog > debug.log
It creates a file named
debug.log
paste its conten in ghostbin.com or something similar. -
@meleu still did not work. I did the grep thing and can't find the syslog directory to find debug.log. also i don't have the /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIOpin1 directory. not sure if thats useful, but trying to help.
-
@lostless please, paste here the output of these commands:
ls -l /var/log/syslog
and
ls -lah /sys/class/gpio/*

i found a debug.log in the home (~) directory
-
@lostless open this file on your Windows (I'm assuming you're using Windows), select all text and paste on ghostbin.com
-
@meleu nope mac. I can boot into windows if need be.
-
@lostless nop, I just need you to copy the entire file
-
@meleu
its just/var/log/syslog:Jul 23 06:28:29 genepi systemd[1]: Starting /etc/rc.local Compatibility... /var/log/syslog:Jul 23 06:28:29 genepi systemd[1]: Started /etc/rc.local Compatibility.
over and over with different dates and times. nothing else.
-
@lostless now I need you to do the same thing for
/etc/rc.local
and/etc/switch.sh
(the last one is supposed to be my v1.7 script, but please, paste it on ghostbin so I can really check if everything is fine) -
/etc/rc.local
https://ghostbin.com/paste/goucc/switch.sh
https://ghostbin.com/paste/5agap -
ls -l /etc/switch.sh
-
@meleu said in Mausberry Shutdown Script Doesn't Save Metadata:
ls -l /etc/switch.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1889 Jul 29 02:42 /etc/switch.sh
-
@lostless
damn! I'm not getting what's wrong! Let's try this:sudo bash -x /etc/switch.sh & 2> /home/pi/script-debug.txt
And then press the f%#&ing button. Pretty please... :)
It should turn off your pi...
