I was able to use nc, and had to add a new line at the end of the input text. So this works: myipaddr=192.168.1.1 myport=6802 monitor=$1 shift m1=$1 shift m2=$1 shift data="${monitor}|on+10|10|${m1}|${m2}| " echo "Sending ${data} to zoneminder at ${myipaddr} port ${myport}" # telnet does not work ...

Sure, but I don't know why it's sending an lseek only when I do not have a tty.

That is, when I use telnet directly I don't see any lseek calls.

This is based on an example zoneminder script.

expect hits the same issue.

Try echo not cat. There is an example here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/ZMTrigger The "cat" is just to dump the contents of the file for exposition of the contents, not as part of the failing command! :) Sometimes things like this don't work because of timing problems, and you have to start getting ...

I used perl -d:Trace, and it looks like nothing is even making it back to the perl code - to the select call in zmtrigger.pl in my code at line 135.

I'm not using cat, but using echo it still fails the same way.

Hi - If I directly telnet to the IP address and port that zmtrigger.pl is running on and send commands, it works as expected and I can trigger alarms via telnet. But, if I script it as shown in the documentation or have telnet read from a file it does not work, and no errors are logged. For example ...

The problem with Event Disk Space is that it is per event, not aggregate. What you want hasn't been implemented, although these days we likely have the infrastructure in place to do it.... we have the value you want in the Storage Areas table. So we should be able to add code to select it. This is ...

Event disk space is the one. If you want to limit zm storage to a specific size, the best way is simply make a partition of the size needed. Otherwise set the percentage based on the available size. E.G., if you have 2GB disk, and you want to use 1GB of it, set disk percent to 50 or a bit less ...

Running v1.36.33 via rpmfusion-free-updates on Fedora 38. In the filters, I see no "Disk Space" as an item to compare with - the only ones with Disk in the name that show up are "Disk Blocks", "Disk Percent" and "Event Disk Space". Was it renamed? Otherwise any ideas on how to get it to show up? I ...

You should post a video of what you want to capture too, we can't tell if this is where the motion is expected or if this is where no motion is expected. But, it looks like you should make this a type "preclusive" or add a preclusive zone. Select an area where you expect no motion, and set it up so ...

Huh, I see the same thing - Chrome causes it to generate that error, Firefox does not.

And I see a zmu -m 1 running.

UPDATE Users set Groups='Edit' WHERE Username='admin';

That worked, thanks.

How can I do that for the "admin" user? My admin user does have an * by it, I don't know if that means anything. Edit: I added another user and gave them edit permissions on everything and was able to add a group using that new user. But, I can't change what the "admin" user can do.

Hi - Zoneminder v1.36.12 via rpmfusion on Fedora 35. My main web console page has no "Groups" item, it just has the "Console", "Options", "Log", "Filters" and more. The documentation shows this highlites this as "C" on https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/userguide/gettingstarted.html, but I ...
