Hello,

I wrote a simple script to control my foscam cameras motion. However there are plenty of commands available and I have two cameras of that type, so I tried to do it all in one script. As arguments I'm passing camera number and command number, it is simple and works from executing from the shell via eg. "./camera.sh 1 6"

However when I try to run it from switch using :

I'm getting fault:

Code: Select all

2018-10-14 22:51:29.739 Error: Error executing script command (/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/camera.sh). returned: 256

When I modify my script and remove the arguments, then running script via simple "script://camera.sh" works fine.

Is there a way to trigger scripts from switch selector with passed arguments? I could make a workaround and create like 15 different scripts doing same thing just with different camera and different command, but I hope it's possible to make it in "cleaner" way:) I've spend last hour to figure/find that out, so any help will be much appreciated:)

Thanks!

This should work with arguments.

bashscript:

#!/bin/bash

echo $(date) $@ >> /usr/local/domotica/data/test

output after some tests

according to this 256 might be a representation of 1 so maybe something funny is going on in your script. Is domoticz running with the same user as your test from the CLI ?

Wow, kudos to you my friend!
Full path followed by script:/// (three slashes) did the trick

Thanks!

And 256 could be, because I have condition to "exit 1" when parameters are not within limits. But thats not so important to focus on that value I guess.

I had the same error message but it was due to writing to a log file that was created by user pi :S, after removing the file and let the script create a new one it was from user root. ==> solved.

(just in case someone else has this error and can not fix it
