reboot indigo server (the whole MAC), an action script

[kw123]

Add this script to >>action group/ server action/ Execute Script<<

Then you can execute this action group eg with a schedule at eg 2am: your indigo server will gently shutdown (ie indigo will shutdown gracefully) and then reboot immediately

Use as you see fit.

ps this will also be part of the next utilities plug version

# this script will shutdown the indigo server and after xx secs, then reboot the mac
# set the wait time before rebot and the mac password
# set these parameters:
yourPassword = "xxxxx"	# the mac user id password, needed to issue "sudo -S" command
waitBeforeReboot = 15 	# this needs to be long enough to make sure indigo shuts down completely (just measure how long it takes for indigo to shutdown, add 3 secs to it)

# got all info

	# create shell file that will do the job, will be deleted at reboot by system, so no password visible after reboot

	f.write(cmd)

	# now executing stop indigo and the reboot

I’m excited to try this out, I’ve been looking for/trying and failing to construct a script like this for a long time!

Thanks Karl.

Well I do not think it is necessary to reboot the whole system every day.
I will keep it as emergency solution

This is handy, but do you think it could be amended to use the fdesetup authstart command so that it won’t prompt for a FileVault password on startup? I’ve tried modifying it with both that and using the -inputlist option to specify an xml document containing the password but to no avail. Any ideas?

And this will shut down the INDIGO CLIENT only

Code: Select all

#  karl Wachs June 10 2024
#  MIT license, use as you see fit, no warrenty what so ever
#
# this script will stop the indigo CLIENT 

import os, subprocess

# get indigo server proc pid
cmd = "ps -ef | grep 'Contents/MacOS/Indigo ' | grep -v grep "
ret = str(subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0])

# py 3x/2x are diffirent:
if ret.find("b' ") > -1: # py3 binary return begins with a "b' "
	pid = ret.split()[2]
else:
	pid = ret.split()[1] # py2

# got all info   
indigo.server.log( "terminating indigo cleint pocess: {} ".format(ret))

# now executing
try:
	pid = int(pid)
	cmd = "kill -15 {} &".format(pid)
	# now executing stop indigo client
	indigo.server.log("shutting down client with: {}".format(cmd))
	os.system(cmd)
	return 
except Exception as e:
	indigo.server.log( "{}".format(e))

sorry none what so ever - i am not using fire fault.

The one posted will just (after indigo shutdown) do a "sudo shutdown -r now" with password piping

and as a one-liner in a shell

Code: Select all

/bin/kill -15 $(/bin/ps -ef | /usr/bin/grep "/IndigoServer" | /usr/bin/grep -v grep | /usr/bin/awk '{print $2}');/bin/sleep 15;/bin/echo 'yourpasswordhere' | /usr/bin/sudo -S /sbin/shutdown -r now

that will gracefully shutdown the indigo server app and then (after 15 secs) do a reboot

[kw123]

tried that one liner also in an iPhone shortcut and it works:

naturally you need to put in your users and passwords and ip number of your mac in the proper areas.

if not in your local network, start a vpn sessions first.

I will try having a play with it later on, alas it’s not the kind of thing I can just randomly play with, need to be in front of the server and also no wife in the house!
