Server-Side-Task-Control, re-start only once

Hello, is it possible, when a command fails, that he will retry it for a period of time or maybe over and over again, every 15sec ?

I'm recording with ffmpeg. And whenn the input stream isn't available yet he must retry it several times.

the output will be "Video_`date +%#F_%H.%M.%S`.mp4"
so no problems with overwriting the file.

Hello Joël,

All functionality you asked about is supported. Please see this blog article for details http://blog.wmspanel.com/2014/10/server-tasks-web-management.html

Hi Andrey, yes this is a useful artikel.
and Server-Side task control is a powerful tool in the panel. I love it.

But both options are checked: Autorestart and Restart if no output.

But in my case, the retry is only once.
He gets a input/output error of ffmpeg, and thats it.

Hello there, I'm having trouble to execute simple comands using server tasks.

The task convertMp4-stream2 is returning Permission Denied. What shold i do to solve this kind of trouble. Tried to change permission of user nimble as root but still getting the same problem.

Here folows my two tasks:

[
{
"alias": "convertMp4-stream2",
"autorestart": true,
"command": "ffmpeg -i http://127.0.0.1:8081/live/stream2.stream/playlist_dvr.m3u8 -codec copy -an /var/cache/nimble/dvr/live/stream2.stream.mp4",
"restart_if_no_output": true,
"restart_if_no_output_interval": 5,
"restart_interval": 2
},
{
"restart_interval": 15,
"restart_if_no_output_interval": 10,
"autorestart": true,
"restart_if_no_output": true,
"command": "aws s3 sync ./var/cache/nimble/dvr/live/* s3://streamsvod/vod",
"alias": "syncAWS-S3"
}
]

I'm looking forward for your help.

Thanks!

Hello Vinicius,

Nimble does not run server-side tasks under root user even if Nimble is running as root. Tasks are executed under user "nimble" so please make sure "nimble" can write to /var/cache/nimble/dvr/, but I'd suggest using some other directory to save .mp4 files.

Thank you.
