Disabling plugins outside UI?

Plugins & Plugin Development Reactor
#1

Is it possible to disable plugins from the shell / filesystem? I would like to disable Reactor as it’s likely preventing access to UI.

I have lua code in activities and there were some special characters / scandic characters in strings and at some point noticed that activity part was loading very slowly.

So tried to remove ”offending” characters (there were a lot of ”Ô-like chars piled up before those special chars), and saving, but looks like RS got corrupted in the process and UI just times out (”luup engine is taking longer to reload”).

Support ticket is open with Vera/ezlo, but haven’t got any reply (ticket created 3 days ago).

I could do a reset & restore backups, but my latest changes are not backed up and hoping I could retain those.

If you SSH into your Vera and do the following sequence of commands, you will disable Reactor from starting, stop the Luup engine and restart it (without Reactor):

cd /etc/cmh-ludl/
touch Z_Reactor.zzz
/etc/init.d/cmh restart
