I'm am having a similar issue (Jumbospot, v. 3.4.16) but on the DStar side. The pistar remote command for reboot works, but not for "shutdown". Any ideas on what I should try? My ini file is below. I put both the reboot and shutdown commands in my Your Call (e.g., UR?) field of my ID-51A. As noted above, reboot works, but shutdown does not when I select that in UR and key up.

[enable]
# Should PiStar-Remote be Enabled? (true|false)
enabled=true

[keeper]
# Keepers Information
callsign=KI7UXT

[d-star]
# UR fields
svckill=SVCKILL
svcrestart=SVCRSTRT
reboot=REBOOTPI
#shutdown=SHUTDOWN

If that is REALLY what you have in the configuration, then the entry for shutdown is a COMMENT, not data.

Thanks, but can you elaborate a little more what you mean by a COMMENT? Thanks.

I'm following these instructions, Appendix I to the following:

When there is a hash mark at the beginning of a line, it is treated as a comment and is ignored when the script is run. So you just need to remove the hash mark and you'll be good to go:

Code: Select all

reboot=REBOOTPI
shutdown=SHUTDOWN 
Keep in mind that when you run the SHUTDOWN command, nothing appears to happen, but after 30 seconds, it's fine to power off the hotspot.

KEOFHS, that worked. Thank you!!!!! I removed the # before the command line.

:idea:
May I suggest to have the labeling changed to PC instead of TG at the DMR section ??
This will prevent any mistakes about TG / PC .

Also adding a little warning will be useful, example:


[dmr]
# NOTE: Use PRIVATE CALL to send the commands.
# PC commands
