I'm needing to reset my CAM periodically, and in order to do this I need
to check it's status from outside VDR.
I've been doing the following, which is not ideal:
if [ $((`tail -n $LINES /var/log/messages | grep 'vdr:' | grep 'ERROR' |
grep 'CI' | wc -l`)) = 0 ]
to test for:
"May 22 00:49:45 freddy vdr: [9061] ERROR: can't write to CI adapter on
device 1: Input/output error " messages
and then:
"while [ $((`tail -n $LINES /var/log/messages | grep 'dvb_ca adapter 1:
DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully' | wc -l`)) = 0 ]" to test
it's recovered
Does anyone have any better suggestions???
Ideally, I'd like a way to "ask vdr" the status of the CAM from a script. I
know this is available on the OSD by going into the "SETUP > CAM" menu where
the CAM is displayed as "CAM Ready", "CAM Present" or "Alhpacrypt" but I
need to do this outside the OSD.
Any ideas?
