Quote: root@mythtv:/etc# ls rc*/rec*
ls: rc*/rec*: No such file or directory That shows that a file starting with rec in not present under rc* which it might not be, try: Code: root@mythtv:/etc# ls rc*/S*rec* and Code: root@mythtv:/etc# ls init.d/rec*
The first one is to check if the Start level is being set up and the second, if the recstart file is present in the /etc/init.d directory. Bruce S. |

It tells us that the recstart script is present and has been set up correctly to autostart. Right we need to check if they are capable of running, so: Code: root@mythtv:/etc# ls -l /etc/init.d/rec* and Code: root@mythtv:/etc# ls -l /usr/bin/rec*

if you do this ls command again, you wil see the '90' Code: root@mythtv:~# cd /etc
root@mythtv:/etc# ls rc*/S*rec* The startup scripts are run in numeric order. the 90 moved it later in the startup process. |

The '90' means it will start later in the boot process. |

I've modified recstat.py to accommodate the additional "virtual" tuners when using multirec. The script works perfectly, but won't start at boot. I originally started and stopped the script via webmin, but I did not modify the startup script. I've also re-run Code: update-rc.d -f recstat remove
update-rc.d recstat defaults 90 as recommended above, but it still won't start at boot. I can manually launch it. Any ideas why it won't start at boot? Prior to editing recstat.py, it did work at boot. |

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but as I remarked earlier I was looking at a blinking keyboard solution. I haven't even thought about it in months, but when I picked up my solution on re-reading this it was not working. I was looking at using wackyd http://www.joedog.org/JoeDog/Wackyd to blink the lights. The original notification daemon I may have on an old hard drive somewhere but the script in the original post could easily be modified to work. Unfortunately wackyd is segfaulting on my current system and I don't have time to figure out why. Maybe someone else has time to look at this solution, or even just another keyboard blinker solution, however. |

an alternative method would be setleds setleds -L +num -caps +scroll < /dev/tty1 would light the num and scroll lock indicators, for example. |

I was able to get it running. But not in the "normal" way. I had to start recstat via the apps file. Since recstat is now started by user mythtv, I had to chmod the "pid" file to allow it to be updated by user mythtv. Anyway, I love this script and love the LED's. Now I've got it working with multirec. |

Now that I've updated to R6 (clean install). How do I get this running under R6? Where do I put "recstat" in order to get add_service.sh to recognize it? I could not get pyserial to install, so I added perl-device-serialport via pacman. Is this the correct package to use for serial port? Any help would be appreciated. |
