VOLTTRON vctl status

I have a VOLTTRON edge device that I have been working on remotely through SSH and for some reason when I run a vctl status I get a:

vctl status
VOLTTRON is not running. This command requires VOLTTRON platform to be running

But if I do a tail -f volttron.log volttron is clearly running in the background I can see all the BACnet info, etc.. See screenshot below of the log. Any ideas what is happening? Would I just reboot the volttron edge device?

Solution

  • If you look at the ./start-volttron.sh script within the volttron repository you will see the line

    volttron -vv -l volttron.log > volttron.log 2>&1 &
disown

    This will allow you to start up and have it be available from ssh the next time you login.
