Ok, let’s try a fully worked-out example of a very ‘minimalist’ example, and
see if we can scale up from there.
The default ‘/etc/rd.conf’ shipped with Rivendell 3.4.1 has an ‘[Identity]’
section that looks like this:
*** snip snip ***
[Identity]
AudioOwner=rivendell
AudioGroup=rivendell
PypadOwner=pypad
PypadGroup=pypad
RnRmlOwner=rivendell
RnRmlGroup=rivendell
*** snip snip ***
That’s designed to replicate a 2.x setup (Principle of Least Astonishment), but
for this exercise let’s change the user for RN so it’s same one that’s running
the base Rivendell modules:
*** snip snip ***
[Identity]
AudioOwner=rivendell
AudioGroup=rivendell
PypadOwner=pypad
PypadGroup=pypad
RnRmlOwner=rd
RnRmlGroup=rd
*** snip snip ***
We’ve changed ‘rd.conf’, so restart the ‘rivendell’ service to pick up the
changes. As ‘root’:
systemctl restart rivendell
Now, start up a ‘Terminal’, and do:
ls -l /home/rd/here
You should get: 'ls: cannot access /home/rd/here: No such file or directory’.
Now, fire up ‘RMLSend’, from the Applications->Rivendell->Utilities menu. In
the ‘Sent To:’ field enter ‘localhost’, and in the ‘Command:’ field enter ‘RN
touch /home/rd/here!’. Touch the ‘Send Command’ button.
Now, go back to the terminal and repeat:
ls -l /home/rd/here
Now, you should get back something like: '-rw-r--r--. 1 rd rd 0 Oct 24 09:26
/home/rd/here’.
You’ve just created an empty file called ‘here’, in the ‘/home/rd’ directory. A
very basic starting point, but it will let us establish that the fundamental
system in Rivendell is working. Once we have that, we can start working to
determine why your specific scripts won’t run.
Cheers!
