Hi, I’m trying to automate the process of my observatory with these steps:
- start ekos with a scheduler file
(Achieved with python dbus script)
- do the start script (bash one) whitch energize the focus, out-focus for 100 steps, reset focus position (its new 0), shut down lights whitch could compromise shootings.
- unpark mount.
- do the sequence of my night goal(s)
- do the stop procedure finishing with a "stop" bash script
— focus to absolute 100 (in order to be at the same focus when starting)
— reste the focus to 0
— de-energize focuses motor (for security)
— turn on lights to allow cleaning devices and put them in order.

I’ve checked that the option to stop ekos and indi are checked but it seems that ekos still alive...
Because, if I try to launch another observatory script, the start (bash)script is not executed since I got the message “ekos is already enabled”. Thus my focused is not energized and lights remain on.

The only solution i have found is to kill kstars and restart it manually.

Any idea to overcome this problem?
In the future I will try to de-energize focuser motor automatically during expositions

Regards
