Hi,

I am running JDownloader2 headless on my Raspberry Pi2 with Ubuntu Mate GUI 16.04 using the command:

java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar JDownloader.jar -norestart

I have 3 questions about the headless server:

1) I often get this message stuck at the bottom of the terminal where I started the headless server:



Is it normal ?

2) How can I start the server in the background so that it doesn't run in a terminal window in the foreground ?

3) How can I correctly kill the server ?

Thanks

1) update should happen, if no progress its most likely been blocked.
2) execute from bash script, and not from terminal. else use terminal and use screen or use terminal and place it in the background with ./command
3) man kill

Hi, I followed that guide although I ran the JDownloader GUI the first time I used it to configure it. After I had configured JDownloader using the GUI I closed it and ran it headless using the command I provided in my first post.

1) It just sits on 0% like I showed in the screenshot. What do you mean blocked ? How can I check it ? What is it trying to update ?

2) I added a & after the command and now when I close the terminal it seems to continue running in the background. How would I use the ./ command though like you suggested ?

3) Is killall java OK ?

Yes, those messages are okay. You will see different output once an update is available

Start JDownloader with
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar JDownloader.jar &
or
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar JDownloader.jar >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
to redirect output to /dev/null
Only add -norestart the first time in order to setup your MyJDownloader logins

To stop JDownloader , you can do the following
go to your JDownloader folder
kill $(cat JDownloader.pid)

Thanks !

Nothing to thank me for!
