Twonky is doing something even though disabled?

Postby kreeture » Wed Jun 13, 2012 2:54 pm

Hi all,

Starting a new post cause the last one went nowhere.

My continuing investigation into why my NAS is coming out of standby is ongoing and I have noticed something odd.
When twonky is enabled the NAS comes out of standby (I think) every night at midnight.
Now when twonky is disabled that night the NAS still comes out of standby at midnight but on the subsequent nights it stays in standby!

Quite odd, is there any housekeeping done by the NAS at midnight to remove something twonky left behind?
Does the daemon_mgr do something or.....?
Any ideas/suggestions welcome.

I have tried the blkdevmonitor.sh script and it didn't reveal anything (see my various other posts), also its not the cron jobs.

Cheers.

Disabling services, ie. Twonky does not remove the housekeeping services (ie. in cron). If the only aim is to avoid any HDD spin-ups, please check the HDD Standby forum.

Check if the Twonky processes are still around:

[~] # ps -ef | grep twonk

Probably used the Twonky QPKG and not disabled it?

I removed the qpkg version of twonky several firmwares ago, so that should be no longer present.
Also twonky process is not running.
And as I said its not any cron jobs.
Are there any other housekeeping services other than cron?

Antivirus database is updated (if configured) a few minutes past midnight if I remember correctly.

Time synchronization (if configured) will happen at the intervals configured. It could happen at midnight.
No, RAID has never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups you will eventually lose data!
