How to keep the #VSCP daemon up an running

It can be very important for a setup that the VSCP daemon is running all the time. If it dies, critical functionality may not work anymore.  Luckily there are tools to help. I have found m/monit to be very useful for this.

The setup is simple and instead of me repeating it here you can follow  excellent this guide.

When things work add the following lines to the m/monit configuration file (/etc/monit/monitrc)

check process vscpd with pidfile /var/run/vscpd/vscpd.pid
start program = “/etc/init.d/vscpd start”
stop program = “/etc/init.d/vscpd stop”
if failed
host demo.vscp.org
port 8080
protocol http
request “/vscp/index.html”
then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

and you will be fully covered.   m/monit will detect when the daemon goes down and then restart it and, if you set up your mail, alert you in a mail that this has been done.

Ending Windows support for the #VSCP daemon?

20160415_142722

VSCP & Friends has been available on the Windows platform since the beginning of time.   But nowadays most of our users is on Linux/Unix, using PC’s or devices like Raspberry Pi.  Well we been there also since the beginning of time but now it’s maybe time to concentrate and put all our efforts on these important platforms. With Linux support on Windows this may not be giving up Windows after all.

But,

maybe there are reasons why we should not do this. Reasons we did not think of ourselves.  If you think there are, speak out now. It’s still time to rethink this.  And we listen to our users. Always.
