The so-far noted reasons for exiting after running for a while have been a "sh: =11: bad number...arithmetic syntax error" and failing to launch the ping (radio out of resources?). The script is designed to exit immediately after launch if there are certain problems with its configuration, which is why the original (not simplified) instructions are to test launch it from the ssh shell.
> ...Quality:65/94 Signal level:-30 dBm... A very (too?) strong signal. If the music plays for ~10 seconds then pauses, this is odd. You would have to troubleshoot the connection handshakes somehow. What was the source? Are other sources more responsive? Other radios synced to this one, with another radio failing, might be an issue (although not consistently 10 seconds after resumption)? --- Hello Developers: In light of the WiFi Connectivity Issue, it might be a good idea to review the synchronization code to see if it could be made more robust to radio connection dropouts... --- > I also had one instance where wlanpoke successfully reset the wifi link > but the music stopped playing and never started again.

It would just save about one second out of 40, a minor improvement at the risk of additional bugs, etc., including taking more time away from the player. The current software has been tested fairly widely, and works mostly, and sometimes fails or just doesn't work. With a record like that, I believe the focus should be on reliability first and then a reliable quick reset method, which could save a lot of outage time. See the development branch. > ...

It was set to be fairly modest, less than the radio's own logs, but it can be much larger. However, I don't think the logs will help with the exit issue. The exiting entry is particularly unhelpful. What is helpful is a serial connection and launching the script from the console, and the "ash -x" debugging launch with its massive output piped to another process piping it to your desktop. See github. > So far I have only had 2 wlanpoke exits. One was within 8 hours of > playing music, and the other was after 3 days of being on, but not > playing music. "only 2" is 2 too many, and too frequent. I sort of wish one of my radios did this, I could perhaps find the issue. > Ok, I will try the quick option. The "web server" should not fail.

I do have ncat > running on the LMS server, but I was just curious about this. I believe it could cause problems with the software waiting for a failed connection to the server, although the case of a failed server and failed receiving nc or ncat has been tested, but perhaps not enough. Also, not every invocation of the nc reporting is turned off by -x (lower case), so in three cases (2 in wpa_cli_check() and after the gateway comes up, the others don't matter) an nc report is attempted anyway, potentially causing more problems. These nc invocations -should- immediately fail with a "can't connect to remote host" message, but, for completeness, those calls could also be disabled.
