Everything seams gone after server reboot

[TechPerplexed]

Well, first we need to establish what exactly goes wrong :) Can you run rclean and report back on what happens?

Hi, let me elaborate more. I upgraded server to v4 cores. When that was done there is a server reboot happening. After it came alive I SSH to it and saw that again there seams like no rclone and plex were installed. I did run rclone installation and it immediately found previous Mounts and same with the Plex. But my question is - after the server reboots what one needs to do to get everything running again since it seams that system does not start it self?

I did run rclean and there are no errors, everything stops, updates and runs again.

How did you create your user? Through Gooby? Did rclean ask for a password somewhere?

[ivankozlik]

Yes, I created the user trough gooby. No, the rclean did not ask for any passwords.

Hmm, so rclean runs without issues, right? No waiting for mounts etc, but it doesn't run after a reboot? Can you check if the cron exists to run rclean after a reboot?

[ivankozlik]

How can I check if that cron exists? :)

[TechPerplexed]

Type crontab -e and see what it lists on the line that mentions @reboot.
If you pick nano as your editor, you can exit it with Ctrl-X.

@reboot /opt/Gooby/scripts/cron/rclean.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
0,15,30,45 * * * * /opt/Gooby/scripts/cron/syncmount.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
15 2 * * SUN /opt/Gooby/scripts/cron/backup.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
10 2 1 * * /bin/resetbackup > /dev/null 2>&1

I'm again in process of scanning the library files. After it completes I can do testing of rebooting the server again to see if the rclean will run and if everything will be normal.

[TechPerplexed]

Right, let me know. At boot it runs the exact same rclean that you just ran manually, so if that goes without a hitch, really it should work with a reboot as well. If not, we'll continue the troubleshooting :)
