sim201 bl76 to bl84 ?

@ lenny, it downloads for me with no problems at all, just have to reboot every 2/3 days & set it to usb again.

@ fint, any chance you catch me by the hand & talk me through setting up a cron job, I know how to get into the cron option, once in there it all goes to pieces on me, scripts & stuff go right over my head lol.
I want to save the epg on my usb/lower slot,& have the epg set to download every night @ 04am, so would I only need to set up a cron job to reboot as I don't need to wake up the hdd ??? Dumb it down as much as you can please lol

 

luk, this is taken from dreamboxuk.com. The below is easily achieved using flashfxp to edit files and change permissions

Add as file reboot_timer.sh in map /var/script (chmod 755!!)




#!/bin/sh

strHour="04"
strMin="00"

while true
do
DateSTR=`date +%H%M%S`
#echo "$DateSTR"
if [ "$DateSTR" -ge "$strHour$strMin"00 ] && [ "$DateSTR" -le "$strHour$strMin"10 ]; then
echo "its time to reboot"
#shutdown -r now
reboot
exit 0
else
#echo "do sleeping"
sleep 8
fi
done


Reboot the dreambox and it should now auto reboot every night at 04 00

Change time to suit your needs.

 

Tanx fint, have done it, I'll keep an eye on it and get back to ye

 

At the risk of blighting myself, this has been fine the last few days. I'll give it a few more & then spread the word, as I've seen loads with this problem & no answers. Thanks again fintannl
