Running telnet.html from USB drive

@pBS,

um. I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to say ... :confused:

If I comment out those lines, then how am I to troubleshoot which line in the script does not run?
Is there a way to enable telnet without running (old) script.cgi using telnet.html from the PCH?

@dirk,

Sorry,you must think I'm dim :o. But I didn't comment out any lines, after running telnet.html (with the old script.cgi) from the PCH, I then attempted to run the NEW gbpvr.cgi from the server using putty.
I just copied and pasted each line in turn from the new gbpvr.cgi.
Putty added the #'s as I was running it.
Are you saying once I run the OLD script.cgi (to enable telnet to be able to run putty in the first place), it then put's #'s there by itself ???

ah,i think i know why...supposed to be no / at end of mvpmc...
mount -t cifs //192.123.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,rw;

try it like that... Smile

and also:
echo "Already Connected!";

I'll try it when I get home tonight! Thanks for your persistence!

If it IS that you may want to amend here though ... odd thing I also have it in my working scripts ... and so does Blue Racer ??

try this:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 115"; 

echo "Content-type: text/html"; 

echo ""; 

cd ~

 if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]

  then

  echo "Already Connected..........."; #28

  else 

mkdir /etc/mvpmc >/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

 mount -t cifs //192.123.1.108/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=guest,rw  >/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

   cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin  >/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

   utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23  2>/dev/null >/dev/null & 

   ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62  2>/dev/null

   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so 2>/dev/null

   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1 2>/dev/null

   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123 2>/dev/null

echo "Telnetd started on port 23.."; #28

fi

echo "<HEAD>"; #6

echo '<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;url=index.htm">'; #54 total 

echo "</HEAD>"; #7

echo "<body>"; #6

echo "Loading...";  #10

echo "</body>"; #7

exit 0;

of course change the parts for your server/dir... Smile

the browser seems to cache any changes on shares, so i have to reboot after changes to get it to see them properly...not so on internal HD...much quicker to troubleshoot with..
i'll have an updated script soon that will take you back to index.htm when done...just flashes the message that it loaded and goes back...
and can be run any number of times in a row... Smile

EDIT: now with autoreturn Big Grin

pbs: Can you do me a favor and try this one?

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 716"; 

echo "Content-type: text/html"; 

echo ""; 

cd ~

 if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]

  then

#  echo "Already Connected...........";

  else 

mkdir /etc/mvpmc >/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

mount --bind /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc

#mount -t cifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=guest,ro;

   cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin  >/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

   utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23  2>/dev/null >/dev/null & 

   ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62  2>/dev/null

   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so 2>/dev/null

   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1 2>/dev/null

   ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123 2>/dev/null

#   echo "Telnetd started on port 23..";

fi

echo '<html>';

echo '    <head>';

echo '   <META http-equiv="Refresh" content="3;url=index.htm">';

echo '    </head>';

echo '    <body background="mvpmc/gbpvr.png" bgcolor="blue" focuscolor="#5EA9E2" focustext="#FF0000">';

echo '        <p align="center">&nbsp;</p>';

echo '        <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" style="padding:0;" width="70%">';

echo '          <tr>';

echo '            <td align="left" colspan="2"><img src="mvpmc/hdlogo.png" /></td>';

echo '          </tr>';

echo '        </table>';

echo '        <p align="center">&nbsp;</p>';

echo '        <p align="center">&nbsp;</p>';

echo '        <p align="center">&nbsp;</p>';

echo '        <p align="center">&nbsp;</p>';

echo '        <p align="center"><font color="Silver" size="4" face="Arial,Verdana,Helvetica"><b>Loading...</b></font></p>';

echo '    </body>';

echo '</html>';

exit 0;

If it works, I'll modify it in the wiki...

Please note that this is set up for the USB drive, though. You'll have to change it if you want to run it from a share.

will try a bit later...
i tried redirecting to a log, so we could go back and read errors,etc. but apparently security won't let cgi write files anywhere... Sad

[ 2>> error.log >> output.log ]
works from telnet but not from browser..

found out how to log it...stole a bit from mav's plugin... Big Grin

now a bit more refinement, and it's ready for wiki...
remember, keep it easy so edits aren't a big pain...tmp msg won't be on screen long so doesn't have to be too pretty... Smile

i may just echo everything to a fulll blown page then redirect to that so can have all output visible and not have to worry about length.. Big Grin

will try later to see if it works then post it..

pBS · 2008-06-17, 12:00 AM

sweet...now working with full output and redirect back to main page... Smile

both errors and output shown, no 'counting' chars needed... Big Grin

i just output both stderror and stdoutput to a file with html headers...
so no matter how long the output, it displays...and goes back.. Smile

just need to clean things up a bit...

we really need to keep the scripts separated per location...
[usb/hard drive/share]
as they have different requirements depending on location..

hard drive scripts should work out of the box..
usb, just needs to make sure right usb string..
shares are a whole different matter...[home drive has to be hardcoded]

The # gets swapped bweteen the two mount lines (and IP added) for the share version correct?
I note that there is a "/" after /etc/mvpmc/ but pBS previously noted there should not be one for the share version :confused: I'm confused :confused:

YUP, fully agree.

i got lost in this thread, could someone tell me where to find this file utelnetd ?
i can't seems to locate it within the package. is this essential for usb method?

mvallevand · 2008-07-12, 03:15 PM

It is distributed in the pch_script_samples.zip. No telnet is only needed for debugging not for mvpmcx2. You can also use lundman's busybox26 if you are more comfortable with it.
