changing/downloading files with permissions

[dsayers]

ok ive changed

os.system('/usr/script/updateProviders.sh &')

to

subprocess.call('/usr/script/updaProviders.sh')

to run the script as os system doesn't always work but now it takes a thew minuets to run the plugin ive also removed sleep

[birdman]

Sorry im not sure what you mean how should I chmod 755?

You telnet/ssh into the system and, at the command line prompt, type:

chmod 755 filename

[birdman]

Sorry im not sure what you mean how should I chmod 755? everything eles seems to work fine im going to try

import subprocess

subprocess.call(['chmod', '0444', 'path'])

>>Sigh<<.

You've now made it globally readable - so you still can't execute it.

[dsayers]

It does execute it that was an example of what I tried but changed 0775.

and used to execute it

call('/usr/script/updaProviders.sh')

im going to use try: and else rather than if os.exist

The whole point of this is to release a plugin for all to use and not everyone is confident in using talnet I could simply have it download individual files and place them in the providers folder but the update providers option already does that. The script can be used with crontimer so we can download them regularly rather than having to do it manually

Well, here's what os.chmod does on my Vix system:

root@mbtwin:~# touch xyzzy
root@mbtwin:~# chmod 000 xyzzy
root@mbtwin:~# ls -l xyzzy
----------    1 root     root             0 Sep 26 02:46 xyzzy
root@mbtwin:~# python
Python 2.7.11 (default, Aug 11 2016, 18:37:41) 
[GCC 5.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.chmod('xyzzy', 0755)
>>> exit(0)
root@mbtwin:~# ls -l xyzzy
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root             0 Sep 26 02:46 xyzzy

So you are doing something wrong. If it reports that the file does not exist then I'd believe it - perhaps you mis-typed the pathname....

(PS: Note that it won't change the mode of a file on a vfat file-system, since they don't have modes and so they are all fudged in by a mount parameter, which on Vix sets everything to 755 anyway).

Im not sure then Im certain it was correct and checked it loads of times but

call(['chmod', '0755', '/usr/script/updaProviders.sh'])

works

[dsayers]

Was that an sh file you used? It seems to do the same for if os exist the path was correct for that but must of not seen it that's why I wasn't getting the os.chmod error till removing if os path exist

What exactly is this plugin and what receiver is it aimed at?

We're aware of you creating hacked OpenViX images for Zgemma, as per our forum rules we do not support Zgemma here.

[dsayers]

It's aimed at all e2 receiver's using autobouqete marker that can run scripts it's so you can download the latest providers files via the script http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...ownload-Script via scriptrunner and run it on a regular basis using CronTimers.


This has nothing to do with hacked images and as I said to abu baniaz I wasn't creating them there already available I just added my custommix updater plugin and released a backup. I stoped doing them about a month ago and using a supported image.

I haven't fully finished it but if you want to try it you can and see it works on any e2 receiver

Here it is I still need to add the inst files to reboot after downloading and remove older versions.

ftp the ipk to tmp installs via ipk installer reboot box and run the Providers script downloader this will download and run the script that will downloads the following providers files from Github:

SKY UK
SKY IRL
Freesat
Terrestrial
Virgin UK
Cable ie

Now we need to set a crontimer to run the script

Menu > Timers > CronTimers (you may be prompted to install 'busybox-cron' - install this - box will restart)

Add a Cron Timer by pressing the Green button

Run How Often ? - Daily
Time To Execute Command Or Script - Whatever you prefer, I have 00:00
Command Type - predefined
You should see the UpdateProviders.sh
Press green to save then check if it says start on autostart if not yellow to start and blue to autostart

IPK can be downloaded here enigma2-plugin-extentions-updateproviders_1.001_all.ipk

I work 12 hour nights so I will start a new thread for it over the weekend with the post and preinst on a new version

Thanks to pembo for providing the original script and birdman helping to edit to run via scriptrunner and helping with the python file

Why would you need to reboot? This isn't MS Windows....
Restart the GUI - possibly....

[dsayers]

Well I need to have it restart gui

How would I add url errors in exept? ie couldn't connect or no network connection at the moment I have try: import urllib f.retrieve except print error message. I would rather have it display an error rather than carrying on with the rest of the python. I did have a look at the updateproviders.py file but I couldn't make sense of it.

If i understand you correctly, this feature is already in ABM latest vix images. To live update the abm config file via github.

Yes but you have to manually update config files using using the update config files option. With a script to download them you can set a crontimer to do it daily or weekly Evan abu baniaz said if the script could work with scriptrunner we could use a cronjob to do it I edited the script to work with script runner with the help of birdman. It was discussed in the update providers script thread to add an auto update option but nothing came of it.

Plus I can do the same for my custommix file
