Script init.d

Hi Everyone,

UMS is supposed to start as a service thanks to this script http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/forum/vie ... 6550d5aaf3. It used to work quite well but since i reinstalled my computer it does not work anymore (i changed my HDD to a SSD). It seems that UMS starts before the network is up.
Here is the end of the ums.log file.

Code: Select all

INFO  2013-04-28 09:16:20.477 [main] Using localhost address
INFO  2013-04-28 09:16:20.478 [main] Created socket: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:5001
INFO  2013-04-28 09:16:20.892 [main] The server is now available for renderers to find
ERROR 2013-04-28 09:16:20.905 [UPNPHelper] UPNP network exception

	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) [na:1.7.0_03]

If i restart the service, UMS succeeds to get an IP address and it is ready to work. I think that something might be not correct in the script but i can't find what. The script requires the network to be started, and I also tried to force the server ip and port in ums configuration file. But nothing worked so far.

Any idea? (script and debug.log are enclosed to this post)

Thanks

It seems that UMS starts before the network is up. That's why it cannot obtain an IP address.
But the startup script (in /etc/init.d/UniversalMediaServer) is supposed to require the network to start. I have also added the script with a low priority: update-rc.d UniversalMediaServer defaults 99.

Anyway i found a workaround. I have just add "sleep 1" to UMS.sh to force the program to wait a little bit before starting. It's not a clean solution but it works at least.
