I wanted to share a quick script I put together to manage stopping age_mover when I need to take down the array. I found myself defaulting to the stop command as that's what the base unraid mover uses and what I wanted was a way to attempt a soft stop with a timeout without having to monitor it. #!/bin/bash TIMEOUT=60 # Set the timeout duration in seconds END_TIME=$((SECONDS + TIMEOUT)) echo "Starting loop with a ${TIMEOUT} second timeout to wait for mover to stop" echo "Sending mover sofstop command" MOVERSTATUS=$(age_mover softstop | grep "running") while [ $SECONDS -lt $END_TIME ]; do MOVERSTATUS=$(age_mover status | grep "running") if [ "$MOVERSTATUS" = "mover: not running" ]; then echo "Mover soft stopped in $SECONDS seconds" break fi sleep 1 echo "Current time: $SECONDS seconds elapsed" done if [ $SECONDS -ge $END_TIME ]; then echo "Timeout reached after $TIMEOUT seconds" echo "Sending mover hard stop command" age_mover stop fiI'm very open to any ideas to improve on this. The script doesn't run frequently and I know doing grep on the text of a command's output is a fragile way to test, but the age_mover commands seem to reliably either say "mover: running" or "mover: not running" so it's working for now.
