The reason I was looking at standby/restart/restart enigma2 was to get in a temp solution for the epg.dat file not updating. So I created a startup script for cron, then started on scripts to check the state of the box i.e are you in normal use/standby/deep standby, then do a reboot and after the reboot put the box back in the same state.

The scripts that I've thrown together sort of work but in testing I've found that the box doesn't always reboot or restart correctly so you end up with it hanging for which the only solution is to hit the power switch on the back. Which sort of makes the scripts next to useless if the box isn't even going to reboot/restart correctly.

For the crossepg problem, I've also put some debug lines into the code that does the download but from what I've seen so far the logs for a successful and failed epg.dat update look exactly the same so so far haven't established what's going wrong.

Dont get any of those problems with my box at all,well the only time I did was when trying to make a backup using TS Panel backup software

i have removed TS Panel from my box 2 days ago and so far its been ok, not posted as it could just be a fluck will see what happens in couple of days.

wiz, can you try issuing the following commands:

For a box restart:
wget -q http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate?newstate=2 -O -

For an enigma2 restart:
wget -q http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate?newstate=3 -O -

What I'm finding is that say 1-2 in 5 for each of the commands above the box hangs on a reboot/restart

EDIT: Also what front processor version number does your box have, mine is v1, you can get the info from the setup info menus.

Front Processor is v1

and I did a mix of 5 of the above and they worked perfectly

Is there a way of scanning the SIM card for hardware errors, what I mean by this is a utility does a surface scan/check of the SIM card?

Am I also right in saying that you've never had any of the crossepg problems, so no reverting to flash or the failure to update epg.dat.

I did have m8 but when I flashed a DBUK 2.1.1 ssl84a backup image without TS Panel installed they went away

Now that is interesting, do you know the date of the image?
