How to make a python script reboot itself
0
I work actually on my raspberry 3 without internet for my internship.
Firstly I created a python script that I schedule with Cron to update my raspberry's hour every 12h.
Secondly, I have another script should run continually.
But I observed that, when I update the time, my script that run continually, doesn't update its datetime.
So I would like to reboot it, to allow the script to take the time in consideration.
here my script I would like to reboot.
from math import *
import pyorbital
from pyorbital import tlefile
from pyorbital.orbital import Orbital
import serial
import time
from datetime import datetime
import os
import sat_class
import predict
import rotator_treshold_test
def rotator_set (azel,v):
if v == False:
az = 0
el = 90
print(('waiting n azimuth = %f elevation = %fnn')%(az,el))
else:
az = azel[0]
if azel[1] < 0:
el = 0
else :
el = azel[1]
print(('tracking satellite n azimuth = %f elevation = %fnn')%(az,el))
def satellite_track():
k=0
saved = [0]
p = '?'
b = '?'
sat = sat_class.Satellite()
mission = predict.Mission()
verif = mission.verif
if verif == False:
mission = predict.Mission()
now= mission.now
print(now)
azel = [0,0] # we don't need to put azel here we are in waiting mode .
rotator_set(azel,verif)
time.sleep(29)
else :
mission= predict.Mission()
print("current time1: ",mission.now,'n',mission.start,' ',mission.end)
verif1 = mission.verif
end = mission.end
now2 = mission.now
while now2 <= end :
azel = rotator_treshold_test.az_correct(saved[k])
rotator_set(azel,verif1)
saved.append(rotator_treshold_test.az_correct(azel[0]))
k+=1
mission = predict.Mission()
now2 = mission.now
print(now2)
time.sleep(0.8)

You could use os.execl() to restart the program.

I don't understand, I tried it the first time on my raspberry, it worked. Now when I try it, I have this error message ( " execl() missing 1 required positional argument: 'file'" I tried to put " os.__file__" as an argument but it doesn't work. I have the same probleme with "os.execv(os.__file__,args) And I don't understand which arg to put for " agrs "

You have to provide the argument to the function, which is the python file you want to reboot (i.e. "./main.py")
