I think, I found out the error. I tested various settings. When I removed the setting "Shutdown script terminates INDI" in the Ekos Settings, everything works fine. With the setting activated, the shutdown script won't start.
So problem solved I think, but when I look into the description of the setting, I don't really know why I shound't turn it on. So actually my script turns off some devices, so it would be nice if the disconnection errors will be removed. And like I said, in earlier versions this was my standard setting and it worked.

Dear all,
this is my first post here. I finally managed to create an account here despite using INDI and this Forum for nearly one year.
But I have a problem:
Since my last update of KStars/Ekos from 3.5.5 to 3.5.7 I readlized that the Shutdown procedure in the Scheduler does not work properly. Everything is setup as before, but the given Shutdown script will not be executed automatically after all Jobs are completed. The "Warm CCD", "Park Mount" and "Park Dome" option for example still work automatically after completion. Also, when I manually start the Observatory Shutdown Procedure, everything works fine.
More exactly after the "Park Dome" method completed and the log tells that the Dome is parked, nothing really happens. The scheduler still appears to run with "No job running". The INDI drivers are already disconnected. It seems like the Skript is just waiting to start, but it wont. I would rule out an error from the script, since it normally starts, when I manually start the Procedure in Ekos by clicking the Start-button.
Hopefully someone can help me or fix the error. Thanks!

Dear all,
this is my first post here. I finally had time to create an account here, despite having used this forum for nearly a year now.
But I have a problem:
Since the last version update of KStars from 3.5.5 to 3.5.7 I realized that the Ekos Scheduler Shutdown Procedure does not work properly. To be more exactly, the Procedure does not automatically start the given Shutdown script, even though it works when I manually start the Shutdown Procedure via the Start Button in the Ekos Scheduler itself. The modules, like "Park Mount" and "Park Dome" work normally after completion of the Schedule and they finish properly, but the Script will not start after them. Instead, the scheduler keeps running forever with no job running (indicated below the schedule).
I hope, someone can fix the problem. I would exclude an error from my side, because the whole Procedure including the script works when I press the start button manually. Thanks!

Like I said, I tried after a few minutes to start the procedure manually "Warning: executing shutdown procedure manually...", then it started and worked properly and the scheduler came to an end.

Here the log file, where a Sequence was finished and it did not work and then at 0:02 I tried to shutdown manually.

Dear all,
I managed to find an error in the Ekos Scheduler:
Since my last version update of KStart from 3.5.5 to 3.5.7 Stable I found out, that the Observatory Shutdown Procedure doesn't work properly.
To be more exact, the given Script in the Procedure won't start automatically after the Schedule is finished. The modules like "Park Mount" or "Park Dome" still work and finish properly, but the Schedule will run forever with no job left. The strange thing is, that everything works fine, when the Procedure is manually started in the Ekos Scheduler. That's why I would exclude an error from my side.
Hopefully someone can fix this problem. Thanks!
