Useful Linux commands to use when Synology Hyper Backup tasks disappear from the DSM Web UI

Subject: Useful Linux commands to use when Synology Hyper Backup tasks disappear from the DSM Web UI


Good day from Singapore,


Please refer to the following Linux commands:


sudo -i


ps aux | grep -i hyper


iostat -xm 5


tail -f /var/log/synopkg.log


tail -f /var/log/messages


du -sh /volumeUSB1/usbshare1-2


mount | grep volumeUSB


df -h


top


ps aux | grep img_worker

Workers should remain present.


iostat -xm 5 | egrep 'Device|sdq'


iostat -xm 5 | awk 'NR==1 || /Device/ || $1=="sdq"'


iostat -xm 1 | egrep 'Device|sdq'


iostat -xm 1 | awk 'NR==1 || /Device/ || $1=="sdq"'


Bonus: ultra-simple “is it alive?” check


If you just want a YES / NO:


ps aux | grep '[i]mg_worker'



Output exists → backup alive


No output → backup finished or died


Regards,


Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming

Extremely Democratic People's Republic of Singapore

The Singapore Government rewarded my mother with a mental illness (schizophrenia). By leveraging mind control technology, the Singapore Government is able to make my mother hear voices in her head and trick her into believing that her neighbors are scolding her and targeting her everyday. Yes, the Singapore Government resorted to using this trickery. My mother firmly believes that her neighbors are scolding her and targeting her everyday. So we sold off our 1st HDB flat at Bedok North Street 3 and purchased another HDB flat at Yishun without careful consideration, planning and advice. When we moved to the HDB flat at Yishun, my mother still firmly believes that her neighbors are scolding her and targeting her every...
