I'm trying to change /etc/rc.sh so that it doesn't call:

/sys/crfs/sbin/wyc_check_bt
/usr/sbin/start_bt

Basically I want the D-Link Bittorrent client to stop loading so I can delete it from the 323.

What I've been doing is:

cp rc.sh rcbackup.sh
joe rc.sh
comment out (#) the above entries and ^kx to save and exit

I've gone back in at this point with joe to verify the changes were saved. So I figure I have my backup and the changed rc.sh and now it's safe to reboot. So I issue 'reboot' and the 323 goes down. In a few seconds it comes back up. I run 'top' and voila the BT daemon is running. Check out the /etc folder and the rcbackup.sh is missing and looking at rc.sh all of the changes were backed out.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the 323 simply copying everything from mtd1 back over? Is there a way to push the changed rc.sh into mtd1? Or is there a way simpler, easier, and more effective way to remove the BT client?

Yes. Click 'search' above, enter 'uninstall bittorrent', hit 'submit', read.

When I woke up and read my email I got all excited that fonz himself replied to my question. Then I read the answer and was was filled with "oh, duh, i did that"

The searches I ran for "uninstall bittorrent" prior to posting had simple responses such as

"just go to the Nas_Prog folder and delete the BT folder"
"in the BT folder, chown to root and chmod to 777 and then rm all of the files"

Neither of those worked in my case. Both the example left the executables in the BT folder, while deleting the other two files BT creates at runtime. That's why I took the "edit the rc.sh" approach. If this was a Windows server I wouldn't have made this post in the first place, there are many different easy ways to delete files. D-Link doesn't have an uninstaller for Bittorrent and the 323 isn't like an Ubuntu install on x86 desktops. I asked an educated question so I can learn what I'm doing wrong and how to do it correctly so I don't end up with a brick.

You should have told us in the first place.

Still, I don't understand why deleting the files doesn't work for you. Admittedly, I never installed the Dlink bittorrent myself, but the instructions look simple and clear. Did you try telnetting into your box (as root) and using rm to delete the files, maybe killing the bt process beforehand?

ttmcmurry · 2008-12-19 18:13:48

Yes, I'm logging in as root when I do this. When I kill the 6 PIDs for BT (kill #####), they spawn again with new PIDs. My guess is that's why it's a daemon, if I could kill the daemon then I could delete the files.

Remove the files without killing the daemon, then.

We're back at square one. How do I do this?

Maybe like this:

Code:

cd /mnt/HD_a4
rm -rf Nas_Prog

Not sure if it's HD_a4, and if it's called Nas_Prog.

ttmcmurry · 2008-12-20 18:48:09

Finally. -rf made the difference.

So- boys and girls if you want to remove / uninstall Bittorrent and the other forums haven't helped:

1) login as root
2) cd to /mnt/HD_a2 -or- /mnt/HD_a4 (depending on your setup)
3) type "rm -rf /Nas_Prog"
4) type "ls -l" to see if the folder deleted
5) reboot the 323
6) log into the download area of the gui
7) click on the bittorrent tab, you should receive a message stating "to install bittorrent..."

Done.

Thanks fonz

That looks wrong. cd in step 2 makes no sense with 'rm -rf /Nas_Prog'. Do you mean 'rm -rf Nas_Prog'?

ttmcmurry · 2008-12-20 19:00:37

Worked exactly as i typed it.

You can also temporarily disable the bittorrent client:

cd /mnt/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/BT
chmod a-x bt
chmod a-x btdog
reboot

To enable again, change a-x to a+x.
