Dear authors and users of linuxtv-dvb-apps,
As we all know, DVB reception quality is dependent on a number of
external factors, like weather conditions (clouds, lightning),
solar activity, thermal expansion and whatever else.
When DVB card like SkyStar2 is used to receive IP traffic, the
data decoding stops right at BER>0. At this moment, it is desired
to be able to run some reconfiguration scripts. F.e. web proxy
service may require reconfiguration, etc.
What approach is the best in this situation, and what is your
experience in automating this ?
Currently I use some scripts with femon|awk. But this is not very
convenient, as femon uses stdio buffering, and when awk detects
good or bad pattern in its output and terminates, the entire pipe
is not finished, as femon still buffers next portion of its
output for some time until it is written and only then it gets
SIGPIPE. May be it is worth to call
setvbuf(stdout,...,_IOLBF,...) in femon ?
Or may be I am unaware about more easy and convenient way ?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
