Stopping Portsdown MeteorView server?

[gu6efb]

Hi All

Whilst playing with the Portsdown MeteorView I have started the MeteorView server.
How do I stop this? Now the Portsdown boots straight to this app every time the Pi is started.

Hi Keith

This was a special-purpose undocumented feature that was only supposed to be used for selected meteor beacon receiver sites. Designed to always start with no way out, so that unattended meteor receivers would not need human intervention. The next release will have a more user-friendly equivalent.

To get back to normal operation, you need to edit the /home/pi/rpidatv/scripts/portsdown_config.txt file. The line commencing

Code: Select all

startup=

should be edited to read

Code: Select all

startup=Display_boot

Then reboot and all will be back to normal.

To edit the file, the following commands should work from the command line:

Code: Select all

nano /home/pi/rpidatv/scripts/portsdown_config.txt

Use the down arrow to get to the required line. Edit the text and then press ctrl-x, then y, then enter.
Back at the command prompt, a

Code: Select all

sudo reboot now

will sort you out.
