Useful commands

[cpighin]

Hello There,

please consideri that I'm new to Z-wave, so be "very elementary" in responding

I have recently purchased a Raspberry PI 2 and a RazBerry module and I tried everything: apparently hardware works a expected.

In the Discussioni in Italiano Section, SolarFlor posted commands to stop and restart the z-way server .

I gave the command to stop the RPI2, by a Desktop terminal of Rasbberry, which I accessed from the PC, and I got the following response

Code: Select all

root @ raspberrypi: / # sudo /etc/init.d/Z-Way stop
sudo: /etc/init.d/Z-Way: command not found 

I thought the command was wrong because, acting as Administrator from the terminal, there was no need of sudo .
Then I changed the command and I got:

Code: Select all

root @ raspberrypi: / # /etc/init.d/Z-Way stop
bash: /etc/init.d/Z-Way: No such file or directory

Where am I wrong?

The service name has changed since quite a while ago. So try

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server stop

Thanks pz1

you commands were successful

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:/# sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server stop
Stopping z-way-server: done.
root@raspberrypi:/# sudo /etc/init.d/z-way-server start
Starting z-way-server: done.
root@raspberrypi:/#

A couple of questions:
where can I find updated list of commands?
Why it's used sudo if in the terminal if we have root privileges (see#)?

The Developers Documentation (see razberry.z-wave.me) It is the official documentation, but not complete and up to date yet.

Sudo does give you elevated rights, if you do have sufficient rights, you don't need it

Maybe I'm wrong, but I downloaded zwayDev.pdf (I think the most complete manual) and I couldn't find command to start and stop Z-wave.

Latest version of developers documentation from Github does not refer to that either. Found no other documents on that.
End user document nothing.
