All the scripts are chmod to 600 which prevents them from being run. Additionally, running the command "chmod 700 script" has no effect but also generates no error.

They are changed to be linux style line endings (so that a DOS editor will work on the files if you want), and then executed from /tmp with permissions of 0777. But, yeah run in background isn't working for some reason.... Will look into it

October 29, 20205 yr When running in background the "Abort script" button does work leaving many phantom processes still running without the ability to end them without detective work and the kill command. Is there a way to fix this?

November 4, 20205 yr I don't know why, but downloading one of my scripts log files killed the complete server (WebGUI dead, Samba service dead, no server HDMI output). At the moment the parity check is running. After it has been finished I will: delete the log of the script restart the script, so a fresh log file is generated stop the array copy the log file through terminal to my SSD download the log file download the log zip file through CA User Scripts and see if the error happens again If I should check something else before the last step, post it At the moment I suspect the CPU undervolting, although it worked for a long time now.

November 5, 20205 yr I have a script that is running great when I manually tell it to do so, or in the background but does not seem to be responding to my custom CRON schedule. I would like it to run every Thursday at 2am so I have set the CRON fiel to be 02**THU. The log however indicates a failure to parse CRON job and goes into a loop. I saw that weekly is an option, but am unsure how to set the day and time of the weekly schedule. Can someone help?

I have a cron job that runs every Monday at 1 am. In User Scripts it is 0 1 * * 1. Yours should be 0 2 * * 4 (perhaps THU also works but I use the ordinal number). You need a space between each element as well.

Hover over this for a popup of the interpretation that this follows. Took me a couple of goes to get mine working since there's a few different ways to express the same thing, and not all Cron systems accept the same structure.

Got me sorted out completely!

November 8, 20205 yr How would I run python scripts in UserScripts? I have python enabled and installed via nerdpack.

If I change the timing(or disable) any of the scripts, apply lights up(so i can click it). but when i actually click, nothing happens. upon refresh or revisiting this page the changes are not saved. it worked a few minutes ago but not its not. @Aerodb I'm having the same problem, did you ever get this solved ?

November 20, 20205 yr Hello guys, I'm wondering why when I run a script, if inside the script I run some program in background the script doesn't terminate correctly (in the console window doesn't appear the "DONE" button). The script itself works and terminates ok if run it from the terminal. Is this an intended behavior? If yes, can it be circumvented in some ways? Thanks. Edited November 20, 20205 yr by cyruz
November 21, 20205 yr Is there any way to re-order the scripts ? Further, maybe a grouping of them too. Mine are all over the place as it has grown over time. I have started prefixing them with stuff to group them (Daily, Weekly, OneOffs, OffsiteBackups) - but they are still spread all over. Ideally, if they could be sorted then they would all 'get together'.

I tried just changing the name but that didn't work, so I'm guessing have to rename the script file itself and then add it to the UserScripts page again.

Let's me put stuff in and shows you the result. Also has a huge page of examples of almost every type.
