I have a Sony DTivo that had 25xtreme then 31Tivolater Upgrade and BlissTerPopper added to it. I've had some toubles recently and have managed to fix most of them.

Is there a way to tell what scripts are running when the daily call is made? Or even tell what looping scripts are installed?

THANKS

Look in /var/log/svclog, /var/log/tcdebuglog, and /var/log/tclient.

David is right.

But first comment out the LogsNull line in cron.

Then delete all the files in /var/log

then reboot, and review the log files as he instructed.

also, do a 'ps aux' and see what's running from /var/hack, or other "aftermarket" directory

But the shorter answer to your question is nothing.

In version 3.1Tivolater, and all versions of 3.1, the daily call is no longer a tcl, but a compiled binary. This is why fixsub runs out of cron, and NOT the daily call.

Thanks.

I managed to learn how to use cron. So, I have fixsub, logsNull and noppv running correctly.

Just wanted to make sure that no other unwanted programs were running.
