[12:05] Hi All [12:06] yo [12:06] you were online a few days ago, but i think you left before anyone could answer.. [12:06] So, I'm running the latest version of auto_rx... [12:06] ah, it's all good [12:07] Anyway, I'm running the latest verison of auto_rx on my raspberry pi and the service seems to crash after a few hours [12:07] Is there a log or something I can use to find out what's going on? [12:07] anything end up in syslog? [12:08] e.g. cat /var/log/syslog | grep auto_rx | less [12:08] (might need sudo to access /var/log/syslog [12:08] any errors that cause auto_rx to completely die should end up there [12:09] only the usuall 'scanning only frequencies' log [12:10] Here's the system service...

[12:11] thats what the default systemd service config i provide should have done [12:11] yeah, not sure... [12:12] you can use grep to filter out just errors and stuff from syslog, e.g: cat /var/log/syslog | grep auto_rx | grep ERROR [12:12] or maybe: grep CRITICAL [12:14] looks like the RTLSDR isn't happy...
