Crond DroboApp build scripts

crond

This is a set of scripts to package a DroboApp from scratch, i.e., download sources, unpackage, compile, install, and package in a TGZ file. The master branch contains the Drobo5N version, the drobofs branch contains the DroboFS version.

I just want to install the DroboApp, what do I do?

Check the releases page. If there are no releases available, then you have to compile.

How to compile

First make sure that you have a working cross-compiling VM.

Log in the VM, pick a temporary folder (e.g., ~/build), and then do:

git clone https://github.com/droboports/crond.git
cd crond
./build.sh

Each invocation creates a log file with all the generated output.

• ./build.sh distclean removes everything, including downloaded files.
• ./build.sh clean removes everything but downloaded files.
• ./build.sh package repackages the DroboApp, without recompiling.

Sources

• crond: http://www.busybox.net/

crond's Issues

Dashboard "final stage of starting up" after crond installation

After installing the crond.tgz in DroboApps folder of my Drobo FS and rebooting the I received the following on my Dashboard "Your Drobo is in the final stage of starting up. This may take up to 5 minutes." I found if I stopped crond with service.sh or killed crond process these 2 process would start up "/bin/sh /etc/init.d/restart_nasd & sleep 30" and dashboard would recover. I can't seem to figure out how crond can prevent nasd from starting restart_nasd. In my research, I found a simpler version of service.sh for crond at http://blog.troyastle.com/2010/06/activate-cron-daemon-on-drobofs.html the same issue. Although I have notice the same problem with transmission app if this helps.

PS.
At first I also had the following, "./service.sh-: set: line 30: illegal option -o pipefail" which I got around by commenting that line.

Get cant find Shares when running script from cron

I have a PHP script that i am running as root on the drobo. It works perfectly from the command line but when it tries to run from cron I get the following error

crond: USER root pid 21505 cmd * /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/php5/bin/php -f /mnt/DroboFS/scripts/movemkv
/bin/sh: Shares: not found

Can anyone help me with why this is happening? I have tried just about all the things I can think of.
