Pinapple Mark V Dip switches..

[GermanMeat]

this is what I have in one of the dip banks 1-0-1 and switched;

sleep 5; tmux new -s new-Win

What Im expecting, is after it boots +5 , have a tmux session running called new-Win

tmux doesn't show any other sessions running when automating it via dip switch.

It works if I manually log in as root and run

mux new -s new-Win

I was able to reproduce your issue. When issuing tmux list-sessions I find tmux not running.

root@Pineapple:~# tmux list-sessions
failed to connect to server: Connection refused

So I tried again with this script

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5; tmux new -s new-Win

And boot mode string: touch /tmp/started-tmux; /root/start-tmux.sh

And this is what I get

root@Pineapple:~# tmux list-sessions
failed to connect to server: Connection refused
root@Pineapple:~# ls /tmp/started*
/tmp/started-tmux
root@Pineapple:~# 

So the script is running and the problem seems to be with tmux. I'm new to this program (I usually use screen) so I'm not aware of anything that needs to be done off the top of my head.

Just to make sure it's running as root I installed the whoami coreutil

root@Pineapple:~# opkg install coreutils-whoami
Installing coreutils-whoami (8.16-1) to root...
Downloading http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/mk5/packages/coreutils-whoami_8.16-1_ar71xx.ipk.
Configuring coreutils-whoami.
root@Pineapple:~# whoami
root

And added whoami > /tmp/whoami as a boot mode and rebooted with the DIPS switched.

Here are the results:

root@Pineapple:~# cat /tmp/whoami 
root

So the boot mode scripts are being kicked off by root.

Hope this helps!

Heya Darren,

Thanks for verifying. I appreciate it, so im not going in circles ;-)

That sux though, tmux is more advanced than screen. Installed screen and will learn to use it instead...

[Darren Kitchen]

I'm sure there's a way to get tmux going - I just don't know what that may be. After playing with it I see it might be more intuitive than screen if you're new to terminal multiplexers.

Actually I checked and noticed that the OPKG library has an older version of it. It currently is at 1.9a , might have been fixed.
