PRIORITY MANAGER V1.3 (Plugin Version):Complete Tool to Power Up Azbox

[buyukbang]

My understanding from the log:

1- There should a file on the HDD root named "swapfile" .

2- Check this. If it exists give telnet command:
swapon /DATA/usb1/sda1/swapfile
Change /DATA/usb1/sda1 part if it is a usb device, not internal HDD.

3- I command fails write me, if not give telnet command "free" and send me its output.

hi,
i tried to activate in settings.txt swap file on usb flash formatted in ex** , but
the log message is:

0:52:38 05/30/10: INCREASING INTERNAL STORAGE (DOM) SPEED
10:52:48 05/30/10: USING EXISTING SWAP FILE
10:52:50 05/30/10: SWAP FILE ACTIVATION FAILED

why?

i also tried to use an usb hard disk but the error is the same.

I also had some problems with the swap file.

Here's my scenario:

- installed plugin - box froze
- rebooted - all OK

- swap file created but swapon command always failed

as below:
10:52:48 05/30/10: USING EXISTING SWAP FILE
10:52:50 05/30/10: SWAP FILE ACTIVATION FAILED

- deleted swapfile on HDD
- next loop of script created and activated swapfile
- free command now showed swapfile being used as expected

BTW: Great work - appreciate your efforts.

Hmm,

I created and activated swap with PM at least a thousand time with no problem on both internal HDD and on a flash disk. with no single problem.

There should be a bug in busybox's swapon command under specific cases (but I don't know what)???

Priority Manager v1.4 will upgrade Busybox (optionally) . May be it solves?? But not sure...

I also had some problems with the swap file.

Here's my scenario:

- installed plugin - box froze
- rebooted - all OK

- swap file created but swapon command always failed

as below:
10:52:48 05/30/10: USING EXISTING SWAP FILE
10:52:50 05/30/10: SWAP FILE ACTIVATION FAILED

- deleted swapfile on HDD
- next loop of script created and activated swapfile
- free command now showed swapfile being used as expected

BTW: Great work - appreciate your efforts.

Latest update for v1.4. Release date is not decided and I'm testing this version. Not much change will be done. This is "near final" v1.4 history:

v1.4
-----
NEW : Faster menu detection alghorithm which dynamically manages sleep time between loops.

NEW : Busybox can be upgraded automatically in boot from v1.0 to v1.16 with a simple
option in settings.txt (Thanks to Kanber Kav for compiling Busybox!)

NEW : Full automated Cron setup. Cron provides a very flexible UNIX scheduling mechanism.

NEW : Moving selected plugins (or optionally all plugins) to internal HDD or USB storages.

NEW : Improvement on automatic management of execution and killing programs: Priority
Manager can start user selected programs when Azbox sleeps. When Azbox wakeups there are
3 things that priority manager can do as an opposite action: kill it, start another
script to stop it or simply do nothing which can be useful if it's a auto-terminated
program or script.

NEW : More speed increase with some new parameter changes for internal storage (DOM) when
Busybox upgrade is activated. (Thanks to Kanber Kav for the idea!)

NEW: Better and faster recording detection alghorithm.

NEW: Mount checks simplified and tuned for better performance. Now you can mount CIF/NFS
shares directly to HDD folders without using symlinks to DOM folders.

NEW: Improved swap file support. Creation of swap file is now retried when "SWAP FILE
ACTIVATION FAILED" error occurs.

NEW : Up on deactivating or uninstalling Priority Manager, if related features activated
in settings.txt, Busybox downgrades to the orginal version, swap file is deactivated and
all mounted shares are unmounted. Complete rollback without reboot requirement.

NEW : Limiting file size of PriorityManager_Verbose_Log with the given byte value.

FIX : HDD not sleeps when reserved programs are waiting to be recorded.

bring it on
this is just perfect.

thank you hard testing going good?

[buyukbang]

Yes, testing phase of this version will take a little more time since I don't wanna publish a defective plugin. This version includes moving PLUGINS feature which really needs a hard testing.

Unfortunately, I was very busy with my job for last days, this caused an extra delay for v1.4 :( But good news is that I've new ideas for v1.5 and I'm adding its basis (not 1.5 functions, just code basis) in v1.4, so v1.5 will be easier for me and I'll publish it in less time
