Carman CPU and log files...

I know I'm quoting cevenn a liitle out of context, but the point is that even after exiting from Carman some part of it is still operating and continuing to put things into those ever so useful log files. This has two consequences: 1) the log files seem to continue to expand forever and 2) this is probably why CPU is used. The part of Carman that stays is called 'carmand' and I'll try to find out how to make it stop. In the mean time it is possible to prevent the log files being made by editing a file called carmand.service (make a backup first to be safe):

Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share/dbus-1/services
cp carmand.service carmand.service.debug (make a backup)
leafpad carmand.service
NOTES
you need to install 'rootsh' to be able to 'sudo gainroot'
you can use nano or vi (if you can figure it out) if you don't have leafpad

delete the part in red:
Code:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.indt.carmand
Exec=/usr/bin/run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/carmand --log-level=debug --log-dir=/home/user
User=user
to leave:
Code:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.indt.carmand
Exec=/usr/bin/run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/carmand
User=user
Save your edited 'carmand.service' file and then turn your N900 off then on again. Carman won't create the log files from now on.

I would like to see carman back up and running again.
If you send me a PM with your email address I will send you my modified version of libobd which (seems to) make connecting to my Bluetooth OBD more reliable...

'Configure OBD2' is for pairing your Bluetooth OBD with Carman.
