telnet to PCH does not work

[soccerdad]

I did not want to add too much new trash to the other thread, so I am starting this one. I tried restarting the server and also reinstalling mvpmcx2 using NMTInstall2. Both cases give me the same cannot find telnet error. This is both from run and dos prompts.

I am assuming that is with your new USB install, does it work if you start from a share?

Perhaps I am confused or I confused you.

I have the usb working and able to view all shows and live TV from the PCH, but I was not able to get the WOL to work. So, per your suggestion, I am trying to telnet the PCH.

From my vista server, I opened the run command and typed "telnet ip_of_pch" (no quotes) That is when I get a windows error message the telnet is not found. So at my server, I renamed my old mvpmc folder (that is still there prior to my setting up the usb stick) to "old" and reinstalled mvpmc using your installer. I did this to see if it would help reinstall telnet. However it did not make a difference and I still get the same error when I type the telnet command from this server.

I thought you had it working and were testing from XP. The Windows telnet client should be able to be installed in Vista/Win7 through the Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn Windows Feature On and Off

I actually use and prefer another telnet program called Putty but I use telnet a lot.

Bingo,
I did not realize I had to install/turn on telnet. From telnet I got it to WOL my server. I assume my npvr.cgi is the problem. Here is what I copied off editpad pro:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
if [ -f /etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 ]
then
echo "mvmcx2 is loaded";
else
mkdir /etc/mvpmc
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.120/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw
cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin
ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
fi
/etc/mvpmc/ether-wake 00:23:54:0A:AB:CE
killall gaya
sh -c /etc/mvpmc/startmeup 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
exit 0;

Does that look correct?

[mvallevand]

Yes, but that is npvr.cgi which is the share version so you would be simply try to wake the server your are on. You need to modify usb_a.cgi

OK, so that is the problem. Is there a specific place to put the line or can it go at the end?

Thanks, I will report back with SUCCESS

[mvallevand]

It would be in the same place.

It works! I feel dumb that I did not use the usb one. I was just following the instructions to the letter. Thanks. I will try to write up a complete guide to my setup so it can be duplicated. I will post it later. Perhaps some of it can be used in the wiki.

Thanks for the patience.

Soccerdad I think it would be very much appreciated if it could be written up for the wiki. Not that I would know anything about that stuff but I would suggest a good place for it would be in a walkthrough If you decided to do that I would be very happy to help
