cd usm_observer

Test run

Run once the module manually:

python3 usm_observer.py

There should be no errors at startup either in the console or in the logs.

If there are errors, fix them and start them manually again.

If there are no errors, set to start automatically by the crontab.

Scheduled run (crontab)

Add to crontab this entry:

*/2 *   * * *   root    python3 /path/to/module/usm_observer.py >> /var/log/userside/usm_observer_cron.log 2>>/var/log/userside/usm_observer_cron_error.log

Instead of the path /var/log/userside, enter your real log path as specified in the settings.ini.

Make sure that the module is started by the cron normally.

You may have to add a path to python3 in crontab file, or specify the full path instead of python3.

Create the file /etc/logrotate.d/userside, if it does not already exist, and add the following lines to it:

/var/log/userside/*.log {

    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
}
