Scheduled reboot Toon 1 for getting sluggish.

Post by Ron_nl »

Hello,

Today my Toon got real unresponsive, and I got to manage to go to the "herstart' option before it dimmed again.
The "herstart" took 1 hour 15 minutes, but is now responsive again.

Maybe it is an idea to ad a option for a scheduled reboot, once a week(??) at a certain adjustable time (night)

Just a thought :wink:

Should not be necessary. Before and after reboot the memory usage should be the same (or Eneco has a memory leakage in the application). I think your toon was running something which caused the cpu/memory to spike. On what firmware are you? Did you do a recent update with the TSC (update-rooted.sh) method?

My Toon is on 5.15.6 TSC 2.1.1 last updated about a month(??) ago by the check for updates button in TSC menu.
I did not update with update-rooted.sh.

Saw Toon was sluggish because the animation for the solar panels almost stopped.
Only app I have is buitenradar.
Toonstore 5.0.

Can you update to the latest firmware en share your results?

That button uses that script also :) So yeah, use that button to update to 5.18.8. In a more recents version of the update script there are some memory tweaks for the toon1 just for this reason.

Ok, I had hoped to skip that version because of those childish /tacky Xmas, Easter etc. icons.. :D
Will update this week.
Thanks.

Great work; I was on 5.15 or 5.13 something and allready had some reboots and the device was very sluggish. I updated it this morning through TSC to 5.18.8 and it goes smoothlier through the menu's than I have ever experienced so it seems.

Updated last Monday, had no issues since then.
Hope it stays this way, will keep a close eye on it.

Its an old topic but i would like to request a auto reboot option in Toon.
After a few days Toon reacts slow en auto soft starts itself and processor load is between 80 and 100%. Even connection trough ssh is going slow. After a reboot the Toon works prefect with a processor load about 20%

I have installed the Solaredge app and P2000 running on 5.49.7

Same setup here also Toon 1 and latest firmware, running several apps: Homeassistant, Buienradar , Afvalwijzer , boilerstatus and water.
I made an Python app on a Raspberry to poll the Toon1 every minute to store usage and memory.
What I see in the data that after 3-4 days Toon is not able anymore to clean its memory and after 2 days it reboots.

Solution for me is to let the Raspberry do a reset on the Toon every night @ 4 am.

Now Toon stays ok without performance issues.

So i agree it should be nice to have this option on the Toon itself.

The python code does the following:
-1- Setup an SSH connection to the Toon
-2- Daily @ 4 am it sents out the ssh command /sbin/shutdown -r now , the Toon will reboot and freeup the memory.
-3- every minute send the following command to the Toon : uptime , free and iostat -c 1 1 and store the results in Homeassistant via MQTT.

If you just want the toon to reboot every night at 04:00, you don't need an external device running a script. You can simply create a cron job on the toon itself:

Code: Select all

toon:~# crontab -l
no crontab for root
toon:~# echo '0 4 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now' | crontab -
toon:~# crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (- installed on Mon Apr 11 09:23:35 2022)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
0 4 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now
This method has the additional advantage that it still works when toon has lost its WiFi connection.

If i enter the first command : crontab -l
the result is : -sh: crontab: not found
So I think there is no crontab on Toon1 ?
