Autoshutdown, useful but undocumented

Here's the readme:
https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…/README/README_for_script

Zitat von "Heinz Lindemann"

When does this job start to ping the landscape?

The job starts to ping 5 min after OMV starts to prevent OMV from shutting down right after boot due to a wrong value or setting.
For testing, you can use the "Fake" mode, and a cycletime of 10 seconds. The script will do a "dry run", where nothing happens to the PC, but all commands are in the logfile and you can check what ASD would do IF no fake mode is set.

Zitat von "Heinz Lindemann"

Where can I see, that it is working?

1. OMV is shutting down
2. You can have a look at the logfile in OMV > System > Logfiles > autoshutdown

Zitat von "Heinz Lindemann"

How long does one cycle take? (before the brake comes)...

you can set this in the GUI
It works like this:
OMV starts, the scripts waits 5 min before the first start
1. check (1. cycle)
sleep (script sleeps for X seconds)
2 .check (2. cycle)
sleep (script sleeps for X seconds)
and so on

I hope you understand this a little bit better now. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask them :roll:

Ah, I mixed sleep and cycles before, sorry. I corrected the upper post. Let me explain it:
You have e.g. 4 cycles and set ASD only to watch for the IPs: (e.g .only 192.168.1.128)
OMV starts: 5 min pause for the script
check (cycles = 4)
IP 128 is up and running, ASD detects it and goes to
sleep (script sleeps for X seconds)
check (cycles = 4)
IP 128 is down, ASD detects it, removes cycles by one (cycles = 3) and goes to
sleep (script sleeps for X seconds)
check (cycles = 3)
IP 128 is down, ASD detects it, removes cycles by one (cycles = 2) and goes to
check (cycles = 2)
IP 128 is down, ASD detects it, removes cycles by one (cycles = 1) and goes to
check (cycles = 1)
IP 128 is down, ASD detects it, removes cycles by one (cycles = 0) and
shuts down the OMV server

If I have the web UI open, it should stay up, clear!

Let ASD check the Web-GUI Port

Zitat von "Heinz Lindemann"

If I copy files from the net, it should stay up, clear!
If kids look "Cars" from VDR (=OMV in the cellar) it should stay up --> which port is the normal traffic (data usage)?
If I write a letter and save it, it should stay up --> which port is the normal traffic (data usage)?

Let ASD check the UL/DL-Rate for the network-card
For the PC you are writing the Letter on -> IP-Check

Zitat von "Heinz Lindemann"

If all machines are idling --> how to set this up?

Let ASD check the IPs of you PCs, if they are pingable, OMV doesn't shut down. See example above

Quote from the readme:

Zitat

Autoshutdown, later called "ASD" does some checks on the network or on the server itself.

A "cycle" is a set of checks. Between the cycles ASD goes into sleep for x seconds.

The checks have a different priority from 0 = high to 5 = low:
0: Stayup-range: UPHOURS (is the server in the timerange, where it should stay online)
1. IPs
2. Ports (Network sockets)
3. UL/DL-Rate in kB/s (only over the last minute)
4. processes, daemons
5. ASD-plugins

If a check with a higher priority gives back a positive result, then no check
with a lower priority is executed. The script reduces the cycles by one and goes to
sleep for x seconds until the next cycle. If all cycles are 0 (zero) the server
is shutting down.

Wir können das auch in deutsch ausmachen, aber so haben auch andere was davon

Idle or not (for ports) doesn't make any difference. If there is an active connection on ssh, or web 80/443 it won't shutdown.

data usage is either the samba port or the port of the service you use to distribute the data...

Be carefull: if you mount a share as a network drive under windows it blocks your OpenMediaVault from shutting down as windows keeps the connection active and this is for me an unwanted behaviour.

Sorry for the necro posting, but I'm too having trouble with the documentation of autoshutdown.
So from the post autoshutdown is a script that will intercept the comman "pm-suspend" and check if I can suspend my nas right?
So if I have a script for suspend the nas with "pm-suspend" at X hour, autoshutdown will check everything I have setted and eventually prevent my nas to suspend right?

Yes. It checks if for example the port is being used, the IP is online or something else. If none of the thins are given, it shuts your NAS down.

Thanks
So How can I say to ASD to suspend my pc at 3AM for example? I simply need to create a scrpt to suspend my pc at 3am while ASD plug-in is active?

You cannot say any specific time to suspend your NAS. It is intended to work always cyclic. So it always checks, no matter what time it is.

If you want to suspend it at 3AM, no matter what, you can create a cronjob which simply does a "pm-suspend" at 3AM every day.

Cool, I didn't get that it worked like that! This would surely be useful in the readme! In this topic there are a lot of important information!

Does this mean that mean that as long as I have a windows PC turned on, my NAS won't shut down? Or you mean that it will stay awake even after the windows PC is hibernated/suspended?

If you specify the IP of your system (last segment) and turn on that IP check - Yes.

Depends. Some network cards stay active and OMV will see them as still "online" even they are suspended. Especially if you have enabled WOL on those systems.
