Send cmd with type:script

[Heljick]

Hi me again, I am trying to run an sshpass command via WenGPIO and can't figure out how to make it work. I tried to put the cmd into a .sh file too, work when I run it in command line but not with WebGPIO.

Here is what I tried:

• Name: Sound FX Appliances:
  • Name: Alarme Type: Script Status: /home/pi/alarme.sh

or

• Name: Sound FX Appliances:
  • Name: Alarme Type: Script Status: sshpass -p mypassword ssh user@server ./cmd.sh

I tried with a Timer or Action on/off but no luck :/

ok so from my understanding this Script type in your example yml is just to get the status of a ping or a service. How is it possible to use script to actually run a cmd ? Is this only possible ?

Hi! While I haven't tried to run a command over ssh myself. I think it should be possible to do so. Try to use ssh keys instead of a password. The command in the Status field is for checking the status via the command's exit code. If it exits with 0 exit code it will show as on otherwise it will show as off. The Status command will run every time the appliance status is checked. There is an Action: feild that takes On: and Off: as subfields where you can specify commands that should be run to turn the appliance on or off. See the example for reference https://github.com/ThisIsQasim/WebGPIO/blob/master/exampleconfig.yml

Thanks, I have no issue with SSH, I just can't found how to run my cmd with WebGPIO. I don't need an on/off action, only a run script action when a button is pressed.

So I succeeded to make a button working for a cmd:

• Name: Test Appliances:
  • Name: CMD Type: Script Status: sudo systemctl is-active --quiet nginx 2> /dev/null Timeout: 5 Action: On: mycmd Off:

Status, is useless but web interface crash if not set Timeout, just change time between status check if I am guessing right Action, no need of it as i am trying to run a cmd when button ON On, is the actual cmd I want to run Off, not needed as Action

So two things:

• Button is working with simple cmd like ping but not with sshpass :/ i am writing in a txt if the cmd succeed so I am sure if it's ok or fail
• Can't change the timeout of the button, maybe the time of the action is to short for this type of cmd but I am just guessing here

If you have any advice please let me know ;)

Issue solved ! I had to force the user in order to pass the cmd, don't know why but it work.

sudo runuser -l user -c 'mycmd'

Glad to know that it worked!
