Add scripts for starting POCS automatically - WIP #475
Conversation
These scripts are designed for running: * ZeroMQ message forwarders * PAWS Web Server * PEAS Shell * POCS Shell They are each run in a separate terminal within tmux, a terminal multiplexer. These were originally developed for PAN008, and this PR is for making them more generally applicable. This is a WIP because I've not yet installed them on PAN008 and tested them.

Can we symlink this in case it changes?

That is a security hole, as it allows the file to be changed without entering the password. For that reason, I prefer to copy it. The files that run as $PANUSER are not copied.

Why not the same as scripts/install/default-env-vars.sh (which has your -z additions)?

Because I'm an idiot? I should have suggested that you document the file as intended to be modified to suit local conditions and then copied into /etc/profile.d/.
As it is, default-env-vars.sh is well suited to running from $HOME/.profile at a point AFTER the user has provided any non-standard values.

Note that the first weather reading usually pulls across Undefined for all the values which I suppose could cause alarm when shown here.

How often do we get readings? 30 seconds? A minute? As it stands, it runs about 40 seconds after starting.

The first reading takes longer and comes back with the undefined values. I find it's usually about 2 minutes before any valid weather reading. Could just leave as is and we can watch it to see if it looks okay.

Sure, will leave as is.

FYI, I'll probably later submit a patch to this to add grc in front of the less (with appropriate checks if it exists) as I think its nice to have colorized log files. However that requires having a proper grc config file since we don't show standard log messages.

One thing I like about byobu is the default status bar is much more helpful and user friendly. Will this display a status bar with names of windows? |
|
Linking #97. |
|
Yes, this will show the names of the windows, along with their numbers. I use ^B# (where # is the number of the window) to switch to a window. |

Submitting now, even as a WIP, so that it is easy to install on PAN006 for testing. |
