Running raspi commands, within a rule fails

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

Hi all

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with these 2 rules?

rule "Restart OpenHAB2 service"
when
		Time cron "0 18 16 * * ? *" 
	then
		executeCommandLine('"sudo" "systemctl" "restart" "openhab2.service"', 5000)
	end

or this

rule "Restart OpenHAB2 service"
when
		Time cron "0 18 16 * * ? *" 
	then
		executeCommandLine('"sudo systemctl restart openhab2.service"', 5000)
	end

1 or 2 doesn’t seem to effect Openhab2.
My OH2 system starts as a service, and I rather restart the service, than reboot entire raspberry.

I do not get any error messages in the log.

Thanks in advance.

I use this and it works

executeCommandLine("python /etc/openhab2/scripts/xxx.py 0x20 "+argument2+' '+argument3)

So you are just running a script, that only restarts the service? @hr3
If I run the command

sudo systemctl restart openhab2.service

in a shell on my pi3, then it works, but not in OH… why is that?
Do I have user / permission issues?

Try searching the forum, there has been a lot written about it already:

Sorry can’t help you directly as I am not using the exec binding or try to run sudo commands
And

Yes, most likely, OH2 is openhab as user and has no sudo rights as far as I remember; also you may always need the full path to your commands;
