Hey guys, I need some help again. I want to perfom a “sudo reboot” command directly from openhab. Either per rule or per button in my sidemap. I already found some tutorials to perfrom linux commands but I’m really not a Linux / Raspberry expert… so unfortunately it isn’t working. Because of limit…

[image] Beginner's guide to an openHABian reboot/shutdown switch Solutions UPDATE, February 2, 2021: I’ve made a few edits to this tutorial so that it works for OH2 and OH3. It’s still written with text-based items and DSL rules that work in both versions. If y…

Note that my guide doesn’t work with recent openHABian builds unless you generate SSH keys. There’s a discussion in the comments, but I never got around to implementing it as I rarely need to reboot openHAB these days. [image] c0rtez: I have some issues with rules after longer runtimes and I tr…

Yes thats exactly the problem I get rid of all “time cron” rules that I could do differently. But especially my heating automation is based on timed rules and I have no other idea on how to handle it differntly. Are timers limited to 10 too? So I could create my own “watch”. Lots of switches for…

I suggest trying to fix the underlying issue (rules) instead of covering up the symptom (reboot). There is probably something wrong with your rules or it really is a problem with the rule engine. Nonetheless I’d search there. You can also always try HABApp, there is no limit for timers and such.

Yes thats what I said in my post above :wink: I tried my best so far but unfortunately in my current scenarios I need the timed rules. What I requested in my post above was if creating a lot of timers would result in the same issue. Of course I would create the rules in the way that not all timers…

[image] c0rtez: I have no other idea on how to handle it differntly. The key isn’t how many rules you have that are cron triggered. The key is how many are running at the same time. To make sure that you have the minimum number running at a time you need to make sure your rules run fast. No s…

[image] rlkoshak: It’s not a problem with the number of cron triggered rules or timers, it’s a problem where they are running at the same time. Also avoid the typical mistake to start most stuff at the same time (full hour etc). Randomize start times a little. And you might want to investiga…

@5iver I’m running 2.5.1-2 @rlkoshak and @mstormi I tried my best to get rid of most of time based rules. But still have a lots of them. Markus Storm you are absolute right for some things I didn’t found another trigger yet. I guess my main problem comes from my heating. I regulate the temperatu…

Did you manage to update to OH 2.5? If not, you can manually increase the threadpool used by the scheduler. Performing a reboot is equivalent to using a sledgehammer to wash your dishes. BTW, the new rule engine does not have this limitation…
