Hello to all
Someone can help me?
I have problems with the two python script (startup and shutdown).I have constantly a problem with these scripts and that's probably because I made some mistakes in the writing.
I followed the example found in the Ekos pages but I'm not having any experience in python is impossible for me to find the problem.
Someone could help me by sending me an example of these scripts?
Thanks

Please be specific, which scripts did you exactly use? and what was the error?

This is the script for startup:1
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import time
import sys
print "Turning on observatory equipment..."
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(5)
print "Checking safety switches..."
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(5)
print "All systems are GO"
sys.stdout.flush()
exit(0)
for the shutdown is similar. The error is "execution of the script failed"

Yesterday I tried again the two scripts I received this message:
Shutdown script failed, aborting.
Shutdown procedure failed, aborting...
Can you help me
Thanks

It seems to work fine. You saved each script to a file, made it executable (chmod +x) ?

hello again
I wrote two scripts and I made them executable with chmod + x but when I launch the scheduler, does not start at all. If I make the start manual, immediately the job is complete the scheduler without making the slew, stop the server and gives me error in the shutdown script.
I am a member of a group of about sixty people passionate about astronomy and we have a large amount of telescopes, we have a planetarium and we started the construction of an observatory. My task now is to test the potential of KStar and Ekos to make our automated observatory. Until now, apart from these minor problems the test is considered positive.
To eliminate this problem, I kindly ask you if you could send me the two scripts and any suggestions to solve this problem.
Thanks
