I feel silly asking, but, does minimserver do automatic rescans?

echo rescan | /var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -d -t 10

Hello,

I'm using the command

Code:

'echo rescan | /var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -d -t 30'

but every time the following output (sent by mail):

Code:

Aufgabe: MinimServer Neustart
Startzeit: Sat, 12 Nov 2016 04:00:03 GMT
Stoppzeit: Sat, 12 Nov 2016 04:00:31 GMT
Aktueller Status: 3
Standardausgabe/Fehler:
.rescan
.connecting: http://localhost:9790/
.getResponseCode exception: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
Server not responding: localhost:9790
+:status=3

But if I perform the rescan by two self written script which I trigger from my Mac every rescan is performed with status 0.
The two scripts are

Code:

ssh admin@<diskstation name> '/volume1/skripte/minim.rescan.unix'

and

Code:

echo rescan | /volume1/\@appstore/MinimServer/bin/mscript -t 30

So I assume that I have to use also the '\@appstore' in the Synology scheduler?[/code][/quote]

There is no difference between /var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript and /volume1/@appstore/MinimServer/bin/mscript. These paths both refer to the same file.

Are you seeing the error output when you run the 'echo rescan | /var/packages/MinimServer/target/bin/mscript -d -t 30' command from an ssh login or when you run it from Task Scheduler or both of these?

What are your settings in Task Scheduler for running this command? The type should be User-defined script and the user should be admin. The command should not be enclosed in quote marks. With these settings, everything is working for me.

Are you sure that the NAS is running and MinimServer is active at the time that the scheduled command is run? If you set the scheduled time to a minute or two in the future and watch the MinimServer log window at that time, does the command run? If you select Run in Task Scheduler to run the command immediately, does the command run?

Hello

thanks for your fast response. Please see my answers below:

I see the error output only when the command is run by the Task Scheduler. Running it via ssh gives no error.

It is a User-Defined Script which is executed by 'admin'. The command is not enclosed in quote marks

Yes, I'm sure that NAS and MinimServer are running. It is strange (manual execution and timed execution) that I do see no entry in the log files; only MinimWatch displays that MinimServer performs a rescan.

I am not clear from this whether the rescan is happening if:

1) you click Run to run the command immediately
2) you set a timed execution for 2 minutes in the future

Please clarify both 1) and 2).

Yes, a rescan is performed in both cases.

OK, so there seems to be some problem associated with the time of day that you are setting for the scheduled rescan. What time are you setting for this?

Hello,

the time is set to 04:00

Perhaps some other system activity is happening at this time which means that MinimServer is not running. You could try a different time such as 03:00 or 02:00.

Another possibility is that the NAS in is sleep mode overnight and MinimServer is not active.

Hello,

I've set the time to 00:00 and the command is repeated every three hours. Let's wait and see what happens next.

I'd just like to state that the script works fine now for quite some time.

Interestingly it works like expected after I switched to a newer Diskstation. Here I get every day the confirmation mail. On my older Diskstation, even if setup identically, I do not get the daily status mail after the script has been executed.
