How to use run.sh

Introduction

run.sh uses supervisorctl service to start, stop, status, Etc speed-cam.py and webserver.py per the configuration files in the supervisor folder. This will run the programs as background tasks under the specified user. These processes will be auto start on boot and/or attempt a restart if there is a program issue. Eg temporary communication timeout with a RTSP camera stream.

How to setup

1 Check crontab jobs for any speed-cam.py and/or webserver.py entries and disable as required.

sudo crontab -l
sudo crontab -e

2 Check /etc/rc.local for any speed-cam.py and/or webserver.py entries and comment out as required

3 Check for any existing running speed-cam.py and/or webserver.py processed and stop and/or kill. Easiest way is to run menubox.sh and select top menu picks and stop speed-cam.py and webserver.py if running

4 Install supervisor service symlinks

NOTE: If you have a non default speed-camera install eg not in /home/pi/speed-camera running under pi user then edit the appropriate conf file settings in the supervisor folder per.

nano ~/speed-camera/supervisor/speed-cam.conf
nano ~/speed-camera/supervisor/speed-web.conf

Modify the user= and/or directory= entries as required. Initialize the supervisorctl service for speed-cam.py and webserver.py per

./run.sh install

This will create symbolic links from the ~/speed-camera/supervisor folder files to /etc/supervisor/conf.d folder.

5 Reboot

6 The run.sh bash script manages supervisorctl processes for speed-cam.py and webserver.py per the appropriate conf files in the supervisor folder.
