Xen Orchestra on Ubuntu 15.10 - Complete installation instructions
-
I'm going to modify the update script to reboot immediately when done updating, 2 minutes just feels way to long.
-
Or better yet... now that we know how...
Stop the XO server... do the updates... start the XO Server... no reboot required.
-
Reboots are kind of critical to know if anything is broken.....

Only in Windows, lol.

And since we're using cron to start the job, it's more easily handled there.
Uptime of weeks or months is no good for any system.
Regardless of how awesome it is.

Any system that is getting properly patched.

Can't seem to get the startup script working with cron. Entered the command:
chmod +x xo-start.shWhat did I miss?
-
@Danp Did you run it with sudo?

That just makes the script executable.
-
Try it from /etc/rc.local ?

Yes, current octal on the file is 0755 so it would appear that the executable flag is set for everyone.

No kidding?!
I followed your earlier guide, but it isn't working for some reason.
-
@Danp where did you put the xo-start.sh script? It should be in /etc
-
and what is in
/etc/crontab?
And this should be what is in "my" /etc/crontab
-
Everything looks the same to me. <shrug>
Tried running
grep CRON /var/log/syslogbut don't see anything useful. -
Works as expected when I run
cd /etc && ./xo-start.shfrom the command line. -
Can anyone else with XO running give the above steps a try and let us know if you're having the same issue?
@Danp sorry I'm just not sure what might be off without more details...

Try adding the XO installation directory to the PATH statement in that crontab. I'm betting it doesn't know where to run things due to the limited environment the system crontabs run in.

If it needs the PATH, then the command is wrong. It should not know where it is.

In my limited experimenting, npm isn't the best implementation of a program. Then we're also dealing with a crontab not running a script/program that we know runs outside of the crontab. At least to me, this just screams that something is missing from PATH at the point it's being run.
