Hi Peter,

Thanks for putting it on-line! Posting an update to the script; made it a bit more configurable and added some features.

To all potential users; i was bored this week and decided to learn python, just for the heck of it What came out was a useful little tool that i'm using myself now. If you want to use it, you may need to tailor it a bit to your needs; most of the code speaks for itself.

Before using it, you have to set some values regarding your interfaces and devices in the header, help is provided in the comments.

To any hard-core python programmer; feel free to educate me

Have fun with it,

Johan

Latest version;

- removed a bug with the process list
- made generic, fully based on config in header
- added a GUI
- made it refresh real time (±1s delay)

Have fun with it, Johan

Have been playing with the indigo_prop_tool, which can be used to script indigo servers. So i wrote a function in python to set and list properties. The code here contains the function and some examples with the PegasusAstro powerbox running on Indigo and a Joystick running on Indi.

There has to be a proper path to the indigo_prop_tool executable for it to work (or put it in the same directory as the script).

Have fun with it!

Next i used the python function posted above, to make a practical application; a script to restart an indigo server on a given port.

Usage: restart_server.py <port>
