Dietpi: Process tool problem

[roelfoubert]

I tried updating transmission but it stops because of an error.
How can I fix this?

@roelfoubert
Thanks for your report.

Please do:

rm /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool
dietpi-process_tool 1

This should resolve it. Cause is a rework we did on process tool with DietPi v6.8 where we actually reset the above config file, but somehow, most likely due to Linux async disk writes, it did not survive the reboot. Strange that there is no way until now that the kernel forces all held back writes to disk before shutting down 🤔.

I get this, so still an error

Very strange, there are still the wrong entries in .dietpi-process_tool.

Could you please paste output of:
cat /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool

[roelfoubert]

This is what I get

@roelfoubert
Yeah that is the old style. And if you remove this file and rerun process tool, it looks the same again?

[roelfoubert]

I always get the same error

Is a known issue with v6.16, apologies.

It is resolved for v6.17: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2089#issuecomment-427625930

We are hoping to open v6.17 beta testing to public users next week. Until then, the other option is to edit the following file:

/DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-process_tool

Find the following line:

done <<< "$(pgrep -f ${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]})"

Replace with:

done <<< $(pgrep -f "${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]}")

---

Issue is caused by pgrep not single string entry of ${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]}.

Which version of DietPi are you running? The above fix may not be the solution.

[roelfoubert]

I'm using the latest version 6.16

[roelfoubert]

changing the line in /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-process_tool fixed my problem

[MichaIng]

@roelfoubert

changing the line in /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-process_tool fixed my problem

I am confused now. Maybe there was some disk async reason for /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool not being updated, or patch went wrong. However if you face no error messages any more, process tool seems to have successfully overwritten it's config file for fix.

There were two issues:

The fix above should have solved only this part of your posted terminal output:

pgrep: only one pattern can be provided
Try `pgrep --help' for more information.
[ OK ] DietPi-Process_tool | Plex Media Server () : Nice 0
[FAILED] DietPi-Process_tool | Plex Media Server () : Affinity 0-3

• This is known for v6.16 and fixed with above for v6.17.

The first errors you got:

cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 1478: Resource temporarily unavailable
/DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool: line 5: JackettConsole.exe: command not found
2018-10-05 13:21:06,604 proftpd[2331]: fatal: unknown parameter: '0'
/DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool: line 7: Radarr.exe: command not found
/DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool: line 8: NzbDrone.exe: command not found
...

are due to cat /DietPi/dietpi/.dietpi-process_tool being in a style that we used some versions ago, but should not look like this on version v6.16, specially not after removing this file and rerunning dietpi-process_tool.
If this errors still appear, I would suggest to rerun dietpi-update -1, as something would have gone wrong with the last update.

Whole loop into need to be in double quotes, otherwise if process name matches multiple processes, their IDs will be in one line.

Works fine for me on Stretch:

You running Jessie?

---

Neither of these work:

"$(pgrep -f \"${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]}\")"
"$(pgrep -f '${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]}')"

So, unless we can find out solution, we'd need to > tmp then read that.

[MichaIng]

@Fourdee
Hmm strange, issue appears on Jessie yes, dropbear process. Hmm actually the error makes sense, since without double quotes, all output is in one line, thus should be "591 6444" in this case 🤔.

However, "$(pgrep -f "${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]}")" (doubled double quotes) works in all cases. I am already fixing it, just doing some other stuff as well.

[Fourdee]

@MichaIng

"$(pgrep -f "${aPROCESS_NAME[$i]}")"

So it does 👍 could of sworn I tried that earlier and it didn't work (probably not enough coffee!) 🤣. Working fine now with above :)

[MichaIng]

Okay PR up: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/pull/2119

• As well I replaced many awk/sed calls with ${varXXX} manipulations. Should speed up the script.

[Fourdee]

@MichaIng

Issues are now resolved, i'll mark this as closed.
