os.system commands wont take effect #112

The plugins shutdown and restart don't do what they are supposed to. Unfortunately they execute the display part but not the os.system part:/ (displaying a message > display the plugin icon > after 7sec the time is displayed again. Since I am only using webcontrol I can't speak for other interfaces. But I do believe it does not matter.

Hi @plotaBot,

do you run the clock as super user?

sudo python...

Best, Bernd

plotaBot commented 5 years ago

Of course I do. Otherwise there will be errors;)

plotaBot commented 5 years ago

I think it has to deal with the plugin exit handling or maybe it is related to fact that I'm using the webinterface... It would be nice if somone else would test this behaviour with commit 8675d8a

Apparentlythis behaviour doesn't occur anymore
