Alligator-Manager in "V2 0.80" SD ISO for Raspberry

lorenzinglorenzing
in Repetier-Server
Hi, i use repetier server with an alligator board, there is a linux program that allows me to control the board to make erase, initialization etc. 
I wanted to ask where I can find the start file Repetier-Server in the new iso, which in old versions was in /etc/init.d/RepetierServer to perform Repetier as SUPERUSER. Otherwise alligator-manager does not send @execute commands it receives from the command console

Thank you very much

    With newer linux having systemd start system, it is /lib/systemd/system/RepetierServer.service
    but that is a new format - no script only a definition. Much easier.

    Better solution would be to allow sudo for that executeable.

    As I understand it, the alligator manager is a way to upload new firmware to alligator board. As it accesses the serial connection you need to disable the printer before using it. Alternatively try our firmware upload tool. If the board is due compatible the upload with our build in firmware uploader should work as well.

    Try to use this version of alligator-manager (for rpi2 / 3)

    Alligator-manager is used to control the board, not just for loading the firmware to do the firmware upgrade using your GUI but first you have to give the erase command. What I can not do is put in extcommands.xml file commands @execute erase / reset @execute that launch as "sudo alligator-manager --erase" / --reset

    You can also put into extcommands direct calls to scripts etc. and add them in the gui. You even can assign them permissions so only a config user could do that.

    I communicate with Marco Antonini to have a new configuration script to install on Server 0.80.1.
    sorry
    I thought it was very easy to get to from Roland
    thanks

    The thing with sudo is no problem. We do this also for our images with several commands. Important part is to put the command into sudoers list for repetierserver. So add a file in /etc/sudoers.d like this
    p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Courier; color: #4d2f2d; background-color: #dfdbc3} span.s1 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures}

    repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

    repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Setup/bin/manageWifiAccess

    repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Setup/bin/installWebcam


    and it should be executable with @execute or as reset command in printer configuration.

    Still do not understand the erase thing since bossac uploader deletes the flash anyway when uploading firmware.
