On a factory shipped box there is a process dsdaemon running. This process is running a continuous ping to baidu.com.
What is the processes purpose?
It does not appear to exist in the sdk…
I’ve heard talk of this (in this thread: Dusun "DSGW-210-HA" Zigbee, Thread, Z-Wave, and BLE gateway appliance pre-installed with Home Assistant? - Hardware - Home Assistant Community) but I haven’t been able to find it running on my units.
Which commands did you run to check it?
ps -ef --forest
But it may of hung around a long time bacause I was running with the box firewalled from the public network.
Not even sure how it gets started as there is no link in /etc/rc[0-9].d and a stop script in /etc/init.d/
This system is a stock unit without HomeAssistant running. I am evaluating the hardware for commercial use and getting very frustrated by the documentation.
strings /usr/bin/dsdaemon | grep baidu
ping -c 1 www.baidu.com
Ping baidu failure!
Looks as if it is a generic monitoring process if you look at the others strings in that image - but I want to know more.
There is an init script /etc/init.d/rcS which starts all init scripts starting /etc/init.d/S of which dsdaemon is one.
It is a bastardised init setup!
I see. I haven’t been able to look into it yet on my units but I will later today if I have the time. What does the full init script look like on your side?
All I would be doing is pasting the contents from the system, so please look at it in context.
ls -1 /etc/init.d/

We have this issue too, see my post Source code for dsdaemon and others. The scripts mentioned in the previous reply are just launch scripts that start compiled binaries in /usr/bin such as dsdaemon. I have found source code for the daemon in the SDK, however, its not the version actually bundled with the firmware 1.5 (DSGW014).
