I thought is was working because the Pi is switching off. But now I looked into the logfiles and see that the USB drives are not unmounted correctly before. So the sghutdown is not happening. Is there any possibility to see if the shutdown script is called when switching off without an attached monitor?

Never could have worked that out myself! Thanks Paul, seems that's exactly how it's done. But I think I will have to move my LMS to the Raspberry to get it really usable. The way my system is set up, it doesn't work well enough. LMS is on a NAS on the 2nd floor, living room with piCorePlayer is on the 1st floor. The stream has to squeeze via BT from my phone to piCorePlayer, via WLAN to the LMS and then back to the player.. This leads to a massive lag, and volume control is a nightmare.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Using Argon One case with fan and powerbutton together with piCorePlayer?
Hello!
This is a new thread for the question how to use the fan and the
powerbutton of the Argon One case together with piCorePlayer.
Let's start at the beginning.
I want to use a Raspberry Pi 4 as a LMS server with the piCorePlayer
installation. This will be no problem.
I want to place this into this case:
https://www.argon40.com/catalog/product/view/id/52/s/argon-one-raspberry-pi-4-case/
This case has a software for using the Power-Button together with eg.
Raspbian.
Does anyone know if this software button will also work somehow together
with piCorePlayer? So is it possible to switch it off gracefully with
the button?
This case has also been available for older Raspberry Pi.
The script for the button and the fan can be found here (for Raspbian):
https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh
FIRST PART: \"THE FAN\"
The installation of the script consists of a few different parts.
First it installs the following packages: "raspi-gpio python-rpi.gpio
python3-rpi.gpio python-smbus python3-smbus i2c-tools"
Then it creates a few files:
- daemonconfigfile (there are only temperatures and fan speeds in a
"table"
- shutdownscript (this will be called later from the daemon when the
button is pressed.
- powerbuttonscript (this is the script that will later run as a
daemon)
- daemonfanservice (this is the configfile for the service, it is placed
at: /lib/systemd/system/$daemonname.service)
- removescript (to remove the installation)
- configscript (to configure the reactions to different temperatures,
later it will write the daemonconfigfile)
At the end it starts the service via:
Code:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable $daemonname.service
sudo systemctl start $daemonname.service
This is the part of the daemon for temperature checking and switching
the fan to the different speeds:
Code:
echo 'def temp_check():' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'fanconfig = ["65=100", "60=55", "55=10"]' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'tmpconfig = load_config("'$daemonconfigfile'")' >>
$powerbuttonscript
echo 'if len(tmpconfig) > 0:' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'fanconfig = tmpconfig' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'address=0x1a' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'prevblock=0' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'while True:' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'temp = os.popen("vcgencmd measure_temp").readline()' >>
$powerbuttonscript
echo 'temp = temp.replace("temp=","")' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'val = float(temp.replace("'"'"'C",""))' >>
$powerbuttonscript
echo 'block = get_fanspeed(val, fanconfig)' >>
$powerbuttonscript
echo 'if block < prevblock:' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'time.sleep(30)' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'prevblock = block' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'try:' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'bus.write_byte(address,block)' >>
$powerbuttonscript
echo 'except IOError:' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'temp=""' >> $powerbuttonscript
echo 'time.sleep(30)' >> $powerbuttonscript
They are reading the temperature with "vcgencmd measure_temp" and if it
reaches the next step from the config they call this:
Code:
bus.write_byte(address,block)
where address is 0x1a and block is the fanspeed from config.
I don't know what this bus.write_byte is doing. Maybe it is enough to
write this a single time to have the fan running always at the same
speed?
The fan is controlled via I2c as paul has written and bus.write... is
for writing to I2c.
Is it possible to write to I2c with piCorePlayer? So I can write one
byte at start to let the fan work in one defined speed.

So I used this configuration in piCorePlayer:
29143
I pressed the button to create the script and it can be found in the
filesystem.
But what happens is that I get the following messages at startup:
Code:
Mounting USB Drives...
Mounting USB Drive: 5D0B-9332...
FUSE exfat 1.2.7
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.
Disk Mounted at /mnt/LMS.
Mounting USB Drive: 5E28-AD65...
FUSE exfat 1.2.7
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.
Disk Mounted at /mnt/Musikbox.
Done.
So the Pi was not correctly shutdown, as the filesystems are not clean.
Is there any possibility to see if the shutdown script is call

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Using Argon One case with fan and powerbutton together with piCorePlayer?
First, do not try to run those scripts directly.remove anything you have tried. Lets talk about shutdown first. If you just configure the shutdown tweak the way you did it, does the device shutdown?
