Problems with hacked HR10

vMAC · 11-09-2006, 07:53 PM

Ok, I have a zippered HR10 with 6.3a and TWP 1.4.1 installed on it and I'm running Tivo G wireless adaptar.

I'm noticing some problems one is that I'm not getting anything placed into the seasonpass backup folder like they should be and I don't know why it isn't happening. While running the script I said to do weekly backups but in the 3 weeks i have had it installed it hasn't placed anything in that folder.

Also I just noticed there is now a folder placed on the drive with the name (-p) there is nothing in there though. Does anyone know if there is a purpose for this folder or if I can delete it?

I've got some other questions just can't think of them at this time. I'm sure I will though pretty soon. Thanks for your help

Also I have this one tool that we can't talk about

Is it weird to see a 5gb file? With my wireless adaptar it says it's going to take 1hr 30mins to download?

Is that to be expected?

The -p folder can be deleted, but only through an FTP client. If you try to delete it from bash you'll get an "invalid option" error. I'm sure it stems from a "mkdir -p" command, but I'm unable to readily track down the culprit, or figure out why it creates the directory instead of invoking the "-p" option.

For the seasonpass backups, you need to have cron running, so start by verifying that cron is running properly. You'll also need to edit the /enhancements/backup_write_static.tcl file to replace util.itcl with libs/util.itcl The next version of the script will accommodate the new location of util.itcl without any intervention.

Made the change to the backup_write_static.tcl file. Thanks, but I can't trace back where those files should be. When I try to manually run backup_run.sh like it states below I get an error of can't find directory. Don't have a /libs directory that I can find on my comp.

Check crontab (I think) typed in root here is what it says in regards to backups:
# Make a backup of season passes and wishlists every Sunday night at 3:30am CST
31 9 * * 1 cd /var/hack/tivowebplus; sh backup_run.sh; echo `date` season pass backup made >> /var/log/cronlog-main

When I navigate to that folder (/var/hack/tivowebplus) it isn't there. I have /var/hack but no tivowebplus directory. Did find the backup_run.sh in /enhancements folder though. Wondering if I should change that line to reflect where it is actually located on my system? Could this be due to the fact that I am running 1.4.1 or did I mess up something while installing TWP?

Any help or advise?

My script don't install tivowebplus in /var/hack. I just posted a new vesion of the script that may fix your issues. Installing it is as easy as re-running tweak.sh.

Seems to have worked. Thanks again man.
