I'm doing some tests with the scheduler while I'm here on holidays.
Earlier, I had an issue with the roof not opening but that's fixed now.

Now I'm getting the follow issue which I do not understand (yet...)

If I start the drivers from the command line as follow:
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~$ indiserver -v indi_atik_ccd indi_simulator_telescope odroid_indi_roof
(note, it's running under the 'heidenrod' user)
I can use the scheduler, the roof will open / close as intended.
Here's a screenshot of the indi tab:


Now, if I start the same drivers using the indiweb manager, somehow the scheduler can't do anything about the roof and states that it's already unparked.
Here's a screenshot, note there is a difference between the previous one.



indi-web runs as the heidenrod user
heidenr+ 5340 0.0 1.6 19400 13332 ? Ss Jun23 0:19 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/indi-web -v


Anybody would know what could be wrong?

I have to wonder if the issue lies with /tmp/indiFIFO permissions, maybe?

root@heidenrod-obs:/home/heidenrod/.indi# ll /tmp/indiFIFO
prw-r--r-- 1 heidenrod heidenrod 0 Jun 24 16:25 /tmp/indiFIFO|
root@heidenrod-obs:/home/heidenrod/.indi#

I've done more testing.

create the indiFIFO file:
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~$ mkfifo /tmp/indiFIFO

check the permissions:
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~$ ll /tmp/indiFIFO
prw-rw-r-- 1 heidenrod heidenrod 0 Jun 24 16:35 /tmp/indiFIFO|

start the roof driver:
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~/meteostationWEB$ echo "start odroid_indi_roof" > /tmp/indiFIFO

I then use Ekos to connect to it, and that works fine, I can control the roof.

If I then remove the /tmp/indiFIFO file and using the indi-web it creates the file as:
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~$ ll /tmp/indiFIFO
prw-r--r-- 1 heidenrod heidenrod 0 Jun 24 16:39 /tmp/indiFIFO|

and the roof driver is not longer working.
