Admins: I'm feeding adbsx using just the "script" and a linux pc. Everything is working fine but I'd like to ask for help to modify the script running on the pc to not start on boot-up... I'd like "manual" control of feeding. In other words, be able to start and stop it using Terminal commands. Is this easily do-able? My knowledge of linux is too limited to accomplish this. If it's not easily do-able, I can just shut down the internet connection on the pc so that I'm not "messing" with the adsbx connection when starting-stopping the pc during software "maintenance" of same.
in the terminal window, type: sudo service dump1090-mutability stop (or "sudo service dump1090-fa stop", if you are using a FA version of dump1090). that will stop the decoder and all feeders related to it. To reactivate the processes, type: sudo service dump1090-mutability start.
Ok, thanks, I'll do that. I thought that the adsbx script wasn't "tied" to dump1090-mutability since I installed the two processes independently of each other.
Oh yes, actually all the ads-b feeders (adsbx included) depend on dump1090 as source of data, if you stop it all of them will stand by (or will die and be restarted in a loop cycle), waiting for an available data stream from dump1090.
Ok. The goal was to not have adsbx continually tied up by my pc "pinging" for something that wasn't available, but appeared to be, if that makes sense.
