[solved]Execute script by remote login

---

Hey pimatic’s,

i have an rule which is turning my Synology Nas off if it is after a a specified time… it works, but i get some errors after a while the script is running.

error [pimatic-hap]: Could not call promise: undefined 18:34:14error [pimatic-shell-execute]: [ShellSwitch#NASaus] Error: Command execution failed with exit code 255 (Error: Command failed: ssh: connect to host 192.168.188.36 port 22: Connection timed out)

The nas ist turned off…

this is my script which i call:

id	:	NASaus
name	:	NAS
class	:	ShellSwitch
onCommand	:	/usr/sbin/etherwake 00:11:32:14:2E:B7
offCommand	:	sh /home/osmc/nasaus.sh
getStateCommand	:	sh /home/osmc/myping.sh
interval	:	10000

the nasaus.sh

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ssh root@192.168.188.36 'poweroff'

A timeout after the device turned off seems legit
The ssh connection cant be active if the device is turned off

Please try in nasaus.sh

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ssh root@192.168.188.36 'poweroff' &

Your remote shell script stays active until the poweroff is finished. That action does not work in synchronous mode of course and therefore you get an execution error in pimatic.
If you execute the command as a background command, thereby making it asynchronous, the script is immediately finished. The ssh connection is disconnected, so no error.

synchronous mode

Thank you, this fix it!

I have send the output to /dev/null and end the script with a & this works for me.
