Module Omnibus

[getmythe]

mostly stuff that's been lying around waiting to be fixed or improved

• Fixed minor html error on options page of module WEBDAV
  
• Updated NFSD module to allow mounting of public shares (mount as user nobody)
  
• New META script to disable low fan rpm warning (or lower existing alarm value)
  
• Updated rsync binary in module RSYNC from version 2.5.6 to 2.6.9

www.freeside.ch/thecus/metaScripts.tar.gz
www.freeside.ch/thecus/N2100-RSYNC-1.1.00.tgz

and there are some new developments as well ...

... presenting the user friendly META version 2.0 with all scripts built-in. Each script may now be enabled/disabled from the web interface (changes require a reboot to take effect). Grab it from www.freeside.ch/thecus/N2100-META-2.0.01.tgz

... presenting FANRPM 2.1.00 taking temperature control to a new level. Instead of the default shutdown temperature of 70 Deg Celsius you may now choose from a range of 54 to 68 degrees. Best to consult your HD manufacturers website to see what the maximum allowed operating temperature of your drives is. Grab it from www.freeside.ch/thecus/N2100-FANRPM-2.1.00.tgz

Hi getmythe,

Many thanks for this user-friendly meta-script and FANRPM module!

From the meta-script I use the options disable_fanrpm_alarm, force_gallery_login, force_webdisk_login, itunes-rescan_interval and I'm very happy with these options!

Because I'm a rookie with scripts and don't dare to install SSH and experiment with my expensive N2100 I have a question for you:

Is it possible for you to add extra options to disable anonymous FTP access and the 'from' addition of the mail-alert into the webinterface module management?

I don't know if this is possible and it's just an humble question from me enjoying other people's knowledge

Hi Rookie,

the reason why scripts disable_anon_ftp_access.sh and logevent_email_address.sh are not built-into version 2.0.00 is very simple. Thecus added the functionality they provided in their most recent firmware (2.1.05, released on March 14).

Thanks for your quick reply.

I've seen the firmware update but because my device is working smooth & silky now I didn't do the update yet (afraid of loosing my N2100 and yes...usually I'm the one that's flashing firmware everywhere I come around ;D )

But I'll update soon, possibly


Edit: Updated to 2.1.05 but that doesn't work for me with the notification update.

I expected a 'from'-field that can be edited, but it sends notifications from "admin@[host name].[domain]", so for me that is 'admin@nas.[internethostname].domain' and my provider only accepts 'e-mailadres@domain'.

Is it possible with your META-script to edit the 'from'-field to something one wants? If so, I think it will still be useful for me (and maybe more) to have it in the web UI.

[getmythe]

Script logevent_email_address.sh had to be configured from the command line, e.g. the from address had to be hardcoded into the script itself. Not very convenient, I have to admit. A much better alternative would be if one could edit the from address within the web interface as you suggested.

Thus email_from_is_1st_recipient.sh was born! Now the 1st recipient (as entered in the web interface) is also the from address. E.g. you will get the email from yourself and have the option to send it to three additional email addresses.

Since I cannot test this right now, please check if it is working. Download META version 2.0.01 to get the latest script database.

have fun

Removed your version 2.0 META module, installed the one above ^, set the options and rebooted. But I have to say that I didn't get it working yet, tried all options. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so...

Hopefully you'll get it working, but anyhow I'm happy with your effort !

[getmythe]

I checked email notification using my own email server. Luckily "from" is not a problem (not checked as machine only accepts emails from local domain in the first place). Nevertheless, the patch is working as expected. Looks like you are facing a different problem.

[getmythe]

there was room for improvement

Please download META version 2.0.02 and give it another try
