Buffalo NAS-Central Forums

This is totally a newb question. I have installed a OpenHome server/service on my LS-VL unit.

I have it running perfectly fine... however if I terminate my terminal session the server stop responding. And I can't figure out the life of me so that it would load during start up/reboot.

Just to let everyone know that I DO have it "running" manually. I have installed Java 1.6.0_34 for Marvell(Kirkwood), and it runs fine. But I can't seem to get it to run on it's own.

The installation steps are for the Synology NAS. So it's a bit different. I tried putting the following:

#!/bin/sh
sh /usr/local/bubbleserver/bubble.sh start

I have the above script in /etc/init.d/ call "launch" --- I also tried putting this same script in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d <<<--- Similar to what was suggested in the installation for Synology. However it doesn't start up for me on my Linkstation Pro LS-VL


I currently have bubbleupnp server in /usr/local/bubbleserver


if I manually run

java -jar BubbleUPnPServer.jar

or

./bubble.sh start

They both runs perfectly fine. I can go to http://<IP ADDRESS>:58050 and access the WebUI. I can even use my SGS3 to access the server and stream. BUT, as soon as I terminate the terminal session it kills itself (for obvious reasons).

Someone can tell me what I am doing wrong that it won't start up during a reboot?

TIA

This is what the bubble.sh script does.

#!/bin/sh
APPDIR=`dirname "$0"`
APPDATA="appData"
BUBBLEUPNPOPTS="-nologstdout -logFileMaxSize 500000 -dataDir $HOME/$APPDATA"
JVMOPTS="-Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

case $1 in
        start)
                PID=`ps | grep Bubble | grep java | awk '{print $1}'`
                if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
                        echo "BubbleUPnP Server is already running..."
                        exit 1
                else
                        if [ ! -d "$HOME/$APPDATA" ]; then
                                mkdir $HOME/$APPDATA
                        fi
                        cd "${APPDIR}"
                        /usr/local/jre/bin/java ${JVMOPTS} -jar BubbleUPnPServer
                        exit 0
                fi
        ;;
        stop)
                PID=`ps | grep Bubble | grep java | awk '{print $1}'`
                if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
                        kill $PID
                        exit 0
                else
                        echo "BubbleUPnP Server is not running..."
                        exit 1
                fi
        ;;

Put the script into /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/ and ensure it is executable
(e.g. chmod 700).
Do NOT use ANY environment paths (e.g. $HOME). Use absolute paths
only.
If you NEED to use environment paths of a user, "source" the profile of
the user (e.g. via ". /home/myuser/.profile" (Attention: there is a space
between the first dot and the slash)), before doing anything within the
script.
The script gets started during bootup, where you will find circumstances
like in a crontab script -> no environment loaded yet.

I made some changes to the bubble.sh (which was provided by the server app).

I also move "launch" script to /etc/rc.d/extensions.d

But same thing it won't start on a reboot. But manually executing either "launch" or "bubble.sh" it runs. but when I close/disconnect from the terminal the service quits

OH...if I issue this command from my Mac... it runs fine. Meaning that I can quit my terminal and the service continues to run. I am using this as a work around till I can figure out why my LS-VL not running the script.

ssh root@192.168.69.5 /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/launch

Here is the new modified version of "bubble.sh"

#!/bin/sh
APPDIR=`dirname "$0"`

BUBBLEUPNPOPTS="-nologstdout -logFileMaxSize 500000 -dataDir /usr/local/bubbleserver/$APPDATA

                if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
                        echo "BubbleUPnP Server is already running..."
                        exit 1
                else
                        if [ ! -d "/usr/local/bubbleserver/$APPDATA" ]; then
                                mkdir /usr/local/bubbleserver/$APPDATA
                        fi
                        cd /usr/local/bubbleserver
                        /usr/local/jre/bin/java ${JVMOPTS} -jar BubbleUPnPServer
                        exit 0
                fi
        ;;
        stop)
                PID=`ps | grep Bubble | grep java | awk '{print $1}'`
                if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
                        kill $PID                                               
                        exit 0                                       
                else                                                 
                        echo "BubbleUPnP Server is not running..."   
                        exit 1                                       
                fi                                                   
        ;;             

Try to name the script with ".sh" extension.
Is this REALLY the script content?
If yes, the script will not work. There is a " missing in line 4 and
the case statement is not closed correctly, neither has it a valid
default case.
You assumed that grep and awk are internal commands of the
command shell (read: no absolute path used). Did you verfied
this?

ok I got some help from the BubbleUPnPServer forum. and they have helped me modify the scripts. They run *PERFECTLY* now within Putty Termina service or in a Terminal (Mac). However in my Linkstation LS-VL still doesn't start the script during bootup.

Here is what everything are.

This is bubble.sh located in /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/

#!/bin/sh
sh /usr/local/bubbleserver/launch.sh

This is launch.sh located in /usr/local/bubbleserver/

#!/bin/sh
HOMEDIR="$(dirname ${0})"
cd ${HOMEDIR}
/usr/local/jre/bin/java -Xss256k -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar ${HOMEDIR}/BubbleUPnPServer.jar $*   

My $PATH: (this shows that my Java is located in /usr/local/jre/bin/

# echo $PATH
/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/usr/local/jre/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

NOW! If I do the following command from my Terminal (MAC), it will run perfectly and I can quit my terminal session and BubbleUPnPServer will continue to run. So I think it's something in my Buffalo Linkstation that won't run the script.

ssh root@192.168.69.5 /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/bubble.sh

Are you sure, "dirname" is part of the shells internal commands?
I am not.
If it is NOT part of the internal shell commands, you need to
specify the complete path for calling.
Test with "which dirname" on your LS if it is an internal command.
If not, add the complete path, you got via "which dirname".
During bootup, by default, there is NO environment set. So there
is NO enironment variable PATH available. You have to assume,
that only shell internal commands can be called without a full
qualified path.
Sorry, if I didn't expressed myself as concrete as possible in the
first post.

Btw. the script "bubble.sh" is set as executable?

Edit: try to add a "nohup " in front of the script call in bubble.sh.

# which dirname
/opt/bin/dirname

That's what I got for dirname... I have no idea if that is internal shells or not

I thought the scripts only got executed on startup if they were named Snn_scriptname. i.e.

S99_bubble.sh

Whenever which returns a path, it is NOT internal.

I am not sure, if the S?? rule is valid for extensions.d scripts.
It is true for init.d (rc*.d) scripts.
Unfortunately I am not at home and can't have a look into
rcS to clarify this.

for cmd in /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/S*
do
        cmd_basename=$(basename $cmd)
        case $cmd_basename in
            S[[:digit:]][[:digit:]]B_*)
                echo " * Starting ${cmd_basename#S*_} in background..."
                ${cmd} start > /dev/null 2>&1 &
                ;;
            *)
                ${cmd} start
        esac
done

Looks like the script has to begin with a capital S, unless it's SnnB_scriptname in which case it's run in background (at the moment only Twonky appears to need this).

So, mbze430, try renaming your script to /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/S99_bubble.sh

If that doesn't work try S99B_bubble.sh

Ahh.. no wonder all the scripts are named that way ... guess there was a reason.

I will try that in the morning.

I just wanted to note something. For kicks/test... I tried adding the following in to the beginning of the twonky.sh. The result was that it completely fail to load Twonky and bubbleserver during boot up. After removing the two lines, twonky obviously started again. Does this bring any new information to the table?

cd /usr/local/bubbleserver
sh /usr/local/bubbleserver/launch.sh

this is the newest script provided by BubbleUPnPServer v0.6.2.. which btw runs fine when I do a ssh command

ok I tried the S99_bubble.sh AND S99B_bubble.sh and bubbleserver did not start...HOWEVER!

I was able to get in to the NAS and did a ps and I was able to capture this...

3013 root       2264 S   /bin/sh /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/S99_bubble.sh start

So it DOES try to load the script.. but for some reason now it tries to use the "start". Maybe it's failing because of that?

my S99_bubble.sh script is pretty basic...

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/bubbleserver
sh /usr/local/bubbleserver/launch.sh

Maybe this will further help. If I run BubbleUPnPServer script from Putty or from a ssh Terminal, it will just sit there like this.. and never gives me back to the prompt.

Maybe this is what is happening.... when running it as a start up. Something kills it? and then ends BubbleUPnPServer?

Because the only way I know how to get out of the "stall" bubbleserver is doing a CTRL+C

You should try to understand how Linux scripting and terminal sessions work.
A script is (basically) nothing more than a sequence of shell commands.
Instead of a script, you can execute line by line manually and will (mostly) get
the same result.
A terminal session (e.g. telnet, ssh, ...) is a kind of redirected shell access.
If you start a terminal session, "somewhere" is a configuration which tells the
system what kind of shell should get started.
Most systems automatically start the user profile (a file named .profile in the
HOME directory of the user) when opening a terminal session shell.
Within the user profile, the user environment is set (e.g. environment variables
like PATH, aliases ...).
If you close the terminal session, EACH and EVERY child session (aka. shell) started
from this terminal session is stopped as well, no matter if you put the stuff into
background or not.
If you don't like to get your stuff stopped, you need to "detach" the child session.
This is done either via coding of the application itself, or via "nohup" in front of
your command and a "&" at the end.
On bootup, there is no terminal session and no profile is loaded. Depending on
the boot sequence, even some devices might not be available.

You need to adapt your script (and ALL the child scripts) to deal with the circumstances
at bootup.
Either set the profile yourself or export all the necessary environment stuff in the
first script you use at bootup.
A good start is a script, which sustains the closing of your terminal session.
If you use optware (sorry that I didn't realised that earlier), you should use also
optwares mechanism for bootup scripts (/opt/etc/init.d and script starting with S99).
