Pi problems

[modesfan]

Hi andrewn,
You are running version 4. Though there was no improvement regarding the problem reported by you, I recommend to update to actual version 11.

Code: Select all

sudo service modes.sh stop
cd /home/pi/modesfiltered
curl https://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/Rpi/modesfiltered.zip > modesfiltered.zip
unzip modesfiltered -x variables.txt
sudo service modes.sh start

Hi modesfan,
i have checked that $prog_path s defined as /home/pi/modesfiltered, I then tried your second suggestion of running it directly from the folder and that works fine.

Please find below the startup script:
pi@piaware:~$ head /etc/init.d/modes.sh -n 30
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: modes
# Required-Start: $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: modes initscript
### END INIT INFO


PROG="modesfiltered.jar"
PROG_PATH="/home/pi/modesfiltered"
PIDFILE="/var/run/modes.pid"
LOGFILE="/var/log/modes.log"

start() {
if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
## Program is running, exit with error.
echo "Error! $PROG is already running!" 1>&2
exit 1
else
## Change from /dev/null to something like /var/log/$PROG if you want to save output.
cd $PROG_PATH
touch $LOGFILE
java -jar $PROG > $LOGFILE 2>$LOGFILE &
echo "$PROG started"
touch $PIDFILE
fi
}
pi@piaware:~$

Thanks
Colin

Hi,
I appear to have fixed it by deleting and re-copying the script to /etc/init.d , I did try that before and it didn't work though.

Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin,
thanks for reporting the solution! There are a couple of new locations/participants with a wrong time setting. Please check again the local time of your RPi by typing: date.
If it is set wrong, correct by: sudo raspi-config. You can find more help here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... -config.md.

Good hunting!

Thanks Albert - I did this and am now running v11.

Restarted pi last night and reporting in, however appears to have dropped out again sometime after 05:27 GMT this morning. I've looked in my /var/log/modes.log and I cannot see any errors so am not sure what is happening??

Last entry from my location, Tarporley, UK:

Hello Nick,
I am not Albert. With Release 11 the reporting was changed. Simple errors as opposed to exceptions are reported only if the program was started with the optional parameter -loginfo. So if you want to see errors in the logfile you have to edit the start script:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/modes.sh

add -loginfo (inside "") to the line PROG="modesfiltered.jar" so that it looks like PROG="modesfiltered.jar -loginfo"
ctrl+o to save, followed by return
ctrl+x to exit

sudo service modes.sh restart

I have no idea why modesfiltered should stop working. We already checked disk space, and know that data is still coming. Maybe someone else can help.

Hi modesfan,

I think I traced the error at the point my location drops off line and stops sending messages.

Does this help diagnose the problem at all?

Thanks

Hi Nick,
Thank you very much! This precise error report helped. There was an unchecked access to a string. I have prepared a new Version 12. Please try it out!
Cheers!

Hi modesfan

I recently updated my PI with Release 11. I had two or three times nothing logged anymore on the live mode s site and the location wasn't online anymore. Then I restarted it and thing are working well.

Now I enabled the logging and saw some errors.

Restart at Aug 03, 2017 7:55:23 PM

First error at 2017/08/03, 20:15:27.174

Code: Select all

# Exception: Exc H6 StatusPI. Try to requeue.com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'modes.statusPI' doesn't exist

Some minutes later another one

Code: Select all

# Exception: Exc H7 Status PI com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'modes.statusPI' doesn't exist

This one at 2017/08/03, 20:51:44.734

Code: Select all

# Exception: Exc H3 LATLONPI. Try to requeue.com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'modes.LATLONPI' doesn't exist

There are multiple entries with these exception messages.


At the moment I see the following log entries

Code: Select all

INFO: sq was: 1000 db: 1000
Aug 05, 2017 2:29:53 PM modesproject.Logging_ModeS main
INFO: format error:

Aug 05, 2017 2:29:59 PM modesproject.MSGsender run

I can provide you the whole log file if it's useful for you.

What do these error messages mean?
