Hello,
I just installed this new image yesterday and I have run up on a problem. Sometimes the RF commands stop working. For instance I try to send a REBOOT command via the radio and nothing happens. I can still link to reflectors, and talk when this happens. Kinda strange.... When I first reboot everything works great. Any ideas on how I can trouble shoot this?
My Hardware: RaspPi B+ 4GB SD Card DVmega board id51 Radio
Thanks in advance, Brad

To determine if the RF command processor has stopped running, open up an LXTerminal window on the Pi. At the command prompt, type "sudo pgrep python"...if it comes back with a number, the processor is running, if it just comes back to another command prompt, it has stopped running.
To troubleshoot, you can try running it in the foreground so that any error which stops the program will be seen. At the command prompt, type "sudo python cmdprocess.py" Leave the terminal window open so that any errors will be seen there. If you need access to the terminal while it's running, just open another LXTerminal window.
**Caution**--make SURE that you verify python is not running with the pgrep command as described above before manually running an instance of the command processor. Having two instances of cmdprocess.py running at the same time will lead to an unhappy place, possibly even corrupting your hotspot configuration.
Cheers

Thanks for the info Bob. I havn't had the problem since I wrote the posting.. Go figure... I think it had something to do with a wifi adapter that was going in to low power mode. The system has been super stable after using it all day today. Im optimistic for the next couple days.
Thanks Again, Brad KK6JUJ
