Some shell command goodies

[linuxguy]

Just wanted to move a few items from my "wish list" to (hopefully) yours:

 

When I log in to the Admin Console, after I give my userID and PW, it makes me wait two minutes until finally I get an AutoUpdate Status popup window with the message "authorization failure". Then it logs me in. The failure occurs because my LAN is not connected to the internet (intentionally). Could you do one of the following:

 

Complete the login immediately, and let me begin activity on the Ad Con, and then give me the pop up window two minutes later.

Provide a shell command which allows the option of disabling the autoupdate check.

 

Could we have a shell command which provides some sort of quick ISY health status. Sometimes my software development activity makes the ISY unresponsive to network commands and/or Insteon commands. When I log in to the shell it may or may not give me some error codes (often related to full queues). At this point a shell cmd would be nice that replied, "I have indigestion, please reboot me", or some such. (Or perhaps, "Everything's cool here, look elsewhere for your problem"!)

 

Could the shell login prompt accept a tab character, as well as a CR, to terminate the userID (before the PW)? Many login systems do this (including the Admin Console), and half the time I have to start all over because I entered a tab instead of a CR.

 

And finally, I have found that when the ISY reboots, if I have a subscription running (in the background), the reboot is not totally successful. Could you modify the reboot sequence so that the ethernet port is not activated until everything else has completed (especially the long ISY-PLM-Insteon series of transactions which is a part of the reboot, and I suspect is where a network subscription could gum up the works).

 

Many thanks,

Hello LG,

 

Thanks so very much for the feedback.

 

The first issue is a bug because you should be able to continue your work regardless of internet connectivity. Which version of ISY firmware do you have?

 

As far as the others, except for the tab for userid/pwd, I think others are quite reasonable and something that we should be doing anyway especially for the system health check.

 

In short, some your wishes are now our requirements.

 

Thanks so very much,

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks Michel.

 

I'm using 2.6.8. These additions would be great.
