Remote shutdown

[Cadish]

Hi,

I've already explained my problem in this thread: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=50793

To make it short: does anyone know how I can shutdown my popcorn A110 via telnet?

Thanks,
Cadish

halt

or

shutdown -h now

And I guess you'll need a full-featured busybox like the one included in CSI telnetd.

[Cadish]

Thanks for your answers!

I've installed both Dropbear as Telnetd and I get the following:

Code:

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK # shutdown -h now
/bin/sh: shutdown: not found

Code:

root@popcorn /root# shutdown -h now
-sh: shutdown: not found

I'm not at home to test, but maybe specifying full path would work, like this:
/sbin/shutdown -h now

I think shutdown is not available in A-110, but either halt or poweroff should do the job to shutdown the player.

[Cadish]

poweroff does the job! Thanks a lot rolandhii!!

How can I update my crontab upon boot?

I added this to /share/start_app.sh:

Code:

crontab -l > /tmp/crontab.tmp
echo "00 * * * * poweroff" >> /tmp/crontab.tmp
crontab /tmp/crontab.tmp

crontab itself doesn't seem to get updated. If I run these commands manually, it works.

cant u do
crontab -e ?

like normal linux?

[Cadish]

yes, that works. Running them manually is not the problem. The problem is that my crontab doesn't get updated when I insert the commands in /share/start_app.sh

[Phyt]

yes but crontab -l = list not edit as you have in your .sh
or am i not getting it ?

[Cadish]

No, doesn't work. Anyone else knows a solution?
