How to see if script is running?

Hi, just got my MiLights up, and wanted to try this script:
http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3402
So i saved the script in home/flemmingss/domoticz/script/wake_me_up_light.sh on the server (ubuntu server).
Also installed Netcat
Than I made a dummy switsh named "start wake_me_up_light.sh" with on-action:
script://home/flemmingss/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh
but nothing happening if i start it.
How can I see if scripts is running?
(So i can see if the problem is the script, og if it is that the script is not started).
Never started scripts before, just used blockly.
Logg:
Code: Select all
2016-02-05 22:40:45.277 User: flemmingss initiated a switch command
2016-02-05 22:40:45.277 (Dummy) Lighting 2 (start wake_me_up_light.sh)

You could add a echo line to the script.
replace
Code: Select all
function verzend(){
echo -n -e $SENDCOM | nc -u -q 1 $IP $PORT
sleep $RUNTIME
}
with
Code: Select all
function verzend(){
echo -n -e $SENDCOM | nc -u -q 1 $IP $PORT
echo $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") : $SENDCOM >> /var/log/script.log
sleep $RUNTIME
}

I now see that you only have 2 // instead of 3
2 // = relative to domoticz scripts folders
3 /// = absolute path
script://home/flemmingss/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh
script:///home/flemmingss/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh
Also, I believe it should be in the domoticz logfile. Something like executing script /home/flemmingss/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh
Is the script executable for the user domoticz runs?

Now I got this:
Code: Select all
2016-02-05 23:56:56.125 User: flemmingss initiated a switch command
2016-02-05 23:56:56.125 (Dummy) Lighting 2 (start wake_me_up_light.sh)

"Is the script executable for the user domoticz runs?"
I don't know, how do i check?

ls -l /home/flemmingss/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh
should have x in the output:
-rwxr--r-- 1 pi pi 464 Jan 17 22:51 wake_me_up_light.sh
x = executable
if not:
chmod +x wake_me_up_light.sh

This looks like a long-running script. Domoticz doesn't like that. Scripts should be as quick as possible.
The way to go: Write two scripts:
The first one, which you will assign to "action on", will execute quickly (as to avoid disturbing Domoticz), and will just launch the second script, in background, with all your other commands, delays, etc:
The (very simple) first script will look like:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/domotics/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh & <== Please note the "&" (ampersand) which will ensure that 'wake_me_up_light.sh ' is launched in background, thus allowing this script to proceed and complete without waiting
Hope this helps,
Oliviers

oliviers : Is this a script O make to start the orginal script?

the script isn't executable. Run this command:
chmod +x /home/flemmingss/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh
But, as Oliviers said, place another script in between.
Something like /home/flemmings/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light_exe.sh
with this content:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/home/pi/domotics/scripts/wake_me_up_light.sh &
Then put script:///home/flemmings/domoticz/scripts/wake_me_up_light_exe.sh in the action of the switch.
With this script in between, domoticz can continue instantly because the _exe script starts the real script in the background.
