Shutting CumulusMX down in Raspbian

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Shutting CumulusMX down in Raspbian

Post by mikeg291 »

I not sure if this is a Cumulusmx or a Raspbian question . I found that after starting Cumulusmx in terminal that if you close the terminal window you have no way to shut down Cumulus . I found this because I wrote a simple script to auto run Cumulus on startup . Using the startup script the terminal window is not visible after startup so how do you get back to use the control "C" to quit or is this necessary when shutting down ? I am working toward to putting an UPS on the RPI for power failures and I want to ensure a safe shut down. Also , The RPI is on a network and I can use a network computer to log
into Cumulus but if I try to use the browser in Pi while the terminal is closed (cumulus running in background) it brings up a text menu of cumulus and puts a downloaded file in the root. I hope that some can make sense of my terrible description of what is occurring . Except for the right way to shut down the other issues really don't matter since I log in remotely .

You can close it cleanly by sending it a SIGINT or SIGTERM, i.e. look up the pid and do 'sudo kill -INT <pid>'.

I think the problem with the Pi browser (others have reported this) may be that the built-in web server isn't sending the correct content type for the web pages, and the Pi browser doesn't work it out for itself. I'll see if I can fix that.

Edit: Actually, it looks like it does return the correct content type.
