Hi,
I have two instances of motion running, at the moment on two small SBC
, however the early device cashes after a couple of days,
So I am tring to get two instances on the same computer an Odroid N2+
which has spare capacity
Trying to stop start with systemd using systemctl
I have motion running from 2 directories /etc/motion and /etc/motion2 ,
and looks OK.
motion.service in /etc/systemd/system is giving me problems , I have
tried :-
[Unit]
Description=Motion detection video capture daemon
Documentation=man:motion(1)
[Service]
Type=simple
User=motion
ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion -c /etc/motion/motion.conf -d 9
#[Service]
#Type=simple
#user=motion
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion -c /etc/motion2/motion.conf -d 7
running systemctl restart motion doesn't like the above , thats why the
hashes are there. Does anyone know what the correct syntax would be
please

You don't give much detail, but assuming that that file starts motion
correctly but not motion2 ...
Probably the simplest option is to create separate motion.service and
motion2.service files and control them separately.

I have found sometimes the restart command doesn't work right. What I've
done is replaced with two lines:
??? systemctl stop motion
??? systemctl start motion
Occasionally I'll also throw a 'sleep 1' or 'sleep5' command between the
two to be sure.

What is the use case for 2 instances of motion?
For the 2nd instance you would need to duplicate the systemd files and
change the names to be motion2.

I found that 9~ 10 cams slowed motion down as the cpu usage was high,
also by splitting them I can split the indoor cameras away from the
outdoor cams
which means If I'm in the the indoor cams can all be shut down and
started when I'm out, ?thats done with another application?
