Et10k-Auto Energize Samba

bumperbee · 5. Juli 2022, 03:17

Hi Everyone, I have a xTrend Et10000 with Hdf image but it gets heated-up and freezes after a few hours of usage. So, I got no other choice but to fix a timer to control daily with auto switch-on/off of the electricity supply. However very often Samba does not switch-on automatically and I have to switch it on by going into the setting manually which is very inconvenient.
Can I program a command to energize Samba automatically during switching on of the electricity or anything else that could start Samba automatically? Thanks very much

Samba automatisch aktivieren Hallo zusammen, ich habe einen xTrend Et10000 mit Hdf-Bild, aber er erwärmt sich und friert nach ein paar Betriebsstunden ein. Also blieb mir nichts anderes übrig, als einen Timer zur täglichen Steuerung mit automatischem Ein- und Ausschalten der Stromversorgung zu installieren. Sehr oft schaltet sich Samba jedoch nicht automatisch ein und ich muss es einschalten, indem ich manuell in die Einstellungen gehe, was sehr umständlich ist. Kann ich einen Befehl programmieren, um Samba beim Einschalten des Stroms automatisch einzuschalten, oder irgendetwas anderes, das Samba automatisch starten könnte? Vielen Dank

Usually samba starts up automatically already.

Additionally to @zeini's advice you can put this line in /etc/rc.local

/etc/init.d/samba restart

before the last line "exit 0".

Hi Zeini & Cricriat, thank you very much for all your advice.
I will try it out.
Best Regards

Hi Cricriat, I edited the file and attached it here. Could you please check if it is correct? Thank you

If the idea of @criticat does not help reliably (which I suspect) you can try the following workaround:

Quellcode

(sleep 120; /etc/init.d/samba restart) &

instead of the other line in rc.local. The idea behind this: Services that depend on the network, sometimes have problems starting, when at boot time the network is not fully initialized yet. The above command will wait for 2 minutes to restart samba. To not delay other tasks, the waiting/restart will happen in the background (The & at the end.) Beaware, not exactly tested by myself. But years ago I used a very similar command to start minidlna, which also had problems to start automatically. So very similar to your situation.

Yes, you made it right.
And it works.
No changes needed.

Did

/etc/init.d/samba restart

work as the one and only added line, yes or no ?

Hi Cricriat, thank you very much for your concern and advice. Yes, it has been working for the past 2 days. Best Regards

That's good, well done.
Then leave it as it is.
No other additional line is needed.
You're welcome.

After your other post, I had assumed, that everything was ok now with the restart command of @criticat - so I was too lazy to answer. After your comment on my pinboard (?), I revisit this:

I did mean, to have only one line, for restarting samba. In the attached file, you had criticat's method followed by my idea (with delayed restart). That is not needed and has no advantage. When criticat's method alone is working reliably, forget about my suggested line. If criticat's method alone is not enough, to fix the problem reliably, just use the line, I had suggested.

Hi Cricriat & Buers, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Is there any other command I can try?
Thank you

Google Translate:
Hallo Cricriat & Buers, manchmal funktioniert es und manchmal nicht.
Gibt es einen anderen Befehl, den ich ausprobieren kann?
Vielen Dank

You have to live with sometimes activating samba manually. Is unfortunately a peculiarity of the box.
Same here.

Du musst damit leben, samba manchmal manuell zu aktivieren. Ist leider eine Eigenart der Box.
Ist bei mir auch so.

Hi Everyone, I find I am still able to login to ‘OpenWebif’ when ‘Samba’ is off. So, is there a command to enter at the following,

‘Terminal’ in ‘Open WebIf’ to start ‘Samba’?
Or through a FTP?
or Telnet program?

Thank you

Google Translate:

Hallo zusammen, ich finde, dass ich mich immer noch bei ‘OpenWebif’ anmelden kann, wenn ‘Samba’ ausgeschaltet ist. Gibt es also einen Befehl, der bei folgendem eingegeben werden muss,

1. “Terminal“ in “Open WebIf“, um “Samba“ zu starten?

2. Oder über FTP?

3. oder Telnet-Programm?

Vielen Dank

zeini · 18. Juli 2022, 07:08

Yes, Samba has nothing to do with Webif, ftp or Telnet.

I don't know how to install Samba using these network protocols.

Yes, you know that command already:

/etc/init.d/samba restart

Quellcode
