Service rbfeeder stop timeout

[danybd]

Hello everyone,
I´ve got a problem with my rbfeeder. Always when I want to reboot or shutdown my pi, it takes an eternity. I analyzed the issue and found out that by some reason the service rbfeeder does not want to stop and keeps running till timeout. This is my log:
sudo service rbfeeder status
● rbfeeder.service - RBFeeder Service

This bug was in a previous version of rbfeeder. In current version it has been removed. You need to upgrade it to latest version.

First check your installed version by following commands:

sudo apt-get update 
apt-cache policy rbfeeder 


The output of last command above will list (1) version available (2) version installed.

To upgrade, please enter issue following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rbfeeder
sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder

During the upgrade, it will ask you if you want to keep your current version of the "rbfeeder.ini" file. You should press Enter to keep the current version of this file.

After upgrading is completed as above, check again what version is installed now:

apt-cache policy rbfeeder

Current version still needs quite long to stop.

$ time sudo service rbfeeder stop

$ apt-cache policy rbfeeder

First purge current install of rbfeeder, then make a fresh insttall as follows:

Your sharing key is saved in following file 

/etc/rbfeeder.ini 

Copy-paste the key in Notepad and save notepad.

Now purge existing rbfeeder

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get purge rbfeeder
sudo rm /etc/rbfeeder.ini 

Before you install a fresh copy of rbfeeder, reboot RPi to see how much time now it is taking to reboot. This will confirm the cause of slow reboot


Now install a fresh copy of latest version of rbfeeder

Code: [Select]

sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh)"
