What’s odd though is that procps-ps is installed (in /usr/bin)
But there’s also a ps in /bin as part of busybox.
This is the same as on an original Secure though, but I’m surmising that the original busybox version handled “ps a” OK:
root@:~# ls -alt
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 25 19:52 .
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Feb 25 19:52 ps -> /mnt/mtdblock6/bin/busybox

In any case I chose to remove the symlink for ps from /bin to busybox to sort it, so in theory /usr/bin version will always be used (as long as /usr/bin is in PATH of course)
Rafale looking at your mods, I’m struggling to see how you have modified Log rotation? I’m wanting to store rather more logs for troubleshooting. Can you explain?
Cayman, I am out of town this week and will have a hard time looking into it. I just remember that the log rotate runs as a function of how much space the logs occupy and you can set a limit. It is all in the RotateLog.sh in the /usr/bin folder I believe. You can check that script and change the limit. It is actually fairly well commented.

Another option if you want to store more logs is to just have the log rotation script FTP it to your own server vs the MIOS servers. It is a trivial change to make it work . I have years of log files stored on my NAS.
[quote=“niharmehta, post:228, topic:199140”]yes that is in the servers.conf file I think. You can also edit the /etc/hosts file to point to your own FTP server. create a user/pass matching the config file. I posted this a couple of years ago : http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,37156.msg277291.html#msg277291
Each FW update may reset the configuration to default however.[/quote]
A week ago, I bought a Harmony Elite, installed the Plug-in, and all was working very well…except. Except I went from 1 or 2 LUUP starts a day to 1 or 2 per hour. For a whole week. Vera never seemed to settle down. Yesterday, my router was starting to act up a little, causing problems with recording HDHomeRun and PlayOn, and streaming recordings to the Roku. It had been many weeks since it was rebooted.
That not only fixed my network, but Vera is back to LUUP restarts about once or twice a day.
Indeed there seems to be some strange sensitivity of the vera to the network. I have been goofing around with some new unifi switches and they have caused some luup reloads during the setup. This is in spite of all my mods so… really has some room for improvements.
Even more odd was that the user and pass remained the same. Sanity check, though (cos I know that makes no sense)
Went to look at archived logs on my NAS
Nothing from April 10th and on
ran Rotate_Logs.sh --force
Everything failed on upload.
to
Copied my own servers.conf file back and all good
Now, I suddenly think of it I wonder if I managed to edit the ‘master’ copy somewhere so it’s broken, and that was copied over with my user and pass details, but not the server IP?
There is a script in the vera which checks for files and replaces them if they are missing. Have not seen one which replaces them if they have been modified so is it possible it is something you did?
. I can see the comments but little concerned about some of the other comments that the changes get overwritten.
