Hello,
I am trying to run the following command, and get no terminal output:
dump1090-mutability --write-json /home/pi --write-json-every 10
However, when I run this I get tons of scrolling text. I tried adding in --quiet
and putting &
at the end of the line, but neither changes anything.
How can I run the command and disable all output to the terminal?
Thanks!
Run as a service in background using systemctl with your desired adjustments
Sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-mutability
Sudo systemctl start dump1090-mutability

--quiet
should be the correct parameter.
but you’d have to look at --help
Otherwise give this a try the json output should be compatible: https://github.com/wiedehopf/readsb
Or use dump1090-fa didn’t you have that running?
dump1090-mutability is older than dump1090-fa and no longer maintained.

I ran following command on pi having dump1090-mutability and it works ok. No tons of scrolling output
sudo systemctl stop piaware dump1090-mutability
dump1090-mutability --write-json /home/pi/ --write-json-every 10 --quiet &
+1 for readsb
Works like a charm and you can gnerate output there as well.

This is the easiest solution. Tested, does not work
In dump1090-mutability I am running, the --quiet
does the job. I dont know why it is not working with you.
If --quiet
is not working, then redirect output to null by replacing --quiet
by &> /dev/null
. The command becomes:
dump1090-mutability --write-json /home/pi/ --write-json-every 10 &> /dev/null &
Please see screenshot below:
Why not? (Only the json write adjustments needed naturally and not quiet etc given thats what service takes care of)
Yes, that is what I did but it failed to write json files to /home/pi folder. I dont know why.
Red arrows in screenshot below show two lines which I modified.
