blkdevMonitor - can't get it to run

[kscircular]

So, I am trying to confirm the HDD spindowns on my TS-453Pro. I followed this link:

http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Find_out_whic ... m_spindown

I follow the directions and when I go to run the program I get this message:


[~] # /root/blkdevMonitor.sh
-sh: /root/blkdevMonitor.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I had to download the text of the script and paste it into Notepad. I saved it as an ANSI file. Then I moved it to Public, copied it to Root and did a chmod 766 on it as the instructions indicated. Could it be the I am saving it as an ANSI file?

I tried downloaded directly from qnaps FTP site, but it specifies the "csread" user and I don't know what the password is for it.

That errant <CR> (CTRL-M) character in your script suggests you created yours with a DOS/Windows text editor, despite the fact that you are attempting to place it on a Linux system.

Access your NAS via SSH, login as "admin" and run:

Code: Select all

cd /share/Public
rm -f /share/Public/blkdevMonitor.sh
wget ftp://csdread:csdread@ftp.qnap.com/NAS/spindown/blkdevMonitor.sh
chmod +x blkdevMonitor.sh
/share/Public/blkdevMonitor.sh
#done

You're a wizard Patrick! That worked perfectly. I totally missed the embedded control character.
Thank you!

If you want to be able to edit Linux scripts in your NAS shares from WinDoZe, simply install a decent text editor on your Windows box, that can handle Linux <LF> line terminated files. I recommend Notepad++ for Windows users.

(It's an excellent editor, and it will allow you to edit both DOS/Windows <CR><LF> terminated files, and Linux/UNIX/OS X <LF> terminated files).

Good idea. I use that at work and it is a good editor. I'll install it on my home box too since I'll probably be delving into more Linux stuff.
Thanks Patrick

I've been playing with Linux for 24 years. I still learn something new every day.
