It doesn’t look like a folder is created for each feeder - is there a command that will list all the feeders that have been installed?
Issue following command:
top
Widen putty window so that the right-most column of output is visible. Look at right-most column, it contains list of all running processes, including all running feeders.
Thanks!
Is ADSBx = faup1090 & mlat-client?
Adsbexchange uses mlat-client AND socat. Did you notice socat (or netcat in older versions)
I found them both but socat only pops on the list once or twice a minute for a few seconds.
.
Perfect. That is normal

That’s part of piaware.
Well the list is sorted by CPU percentage and applications with low CPU percentage are further down in the list, not visible unless you use page down.
It probably is and should be running permanently.
sudo apt install htop
htop
Press F2
arrow down for display options
arrow right and arrow down
Press spacebar to select these two options:
Hide kernel threads
Hide userland process threads
When those are enabeld, press F10.
You should have a somewhat shorter list now with programs that are running.
Anyhow you should know which feeders you installed, then you can also check if they are running by checking their logs or individual status commands they might have.
Adsbexchange is started by entry in rc.local (both mlat-client & socat). There is no status command or log.
Yeah i’ve made a pull request to change that over to systemd, but James hasn’t responded to it yet.
Anyway you can check pgrep -a socat and pgrep -a mlat-client to check that it’s running and if the command is correct.
Also there is this page to check if the connection is established:

Is it normal for dump978-fa to use considerably more %CPU than everything else?

Yes, unless you have even more CPU intensive stuff running

Agree! … I’ve been working on 3 different ADS-B boxes without making any notes on the progress of each one and needed a way to double-check what I thought I had installed.
Thanks for the HTOP suggestion - that will help in the future.

For reference, htop has been preinstalled since Stretch, even included in the Lite version.

Are you sure?
Pretty sure i had to install it on Stretch Lite.
Anyway i’m somewhat used to having install htop for whatever reason so i usually add that.
I was but you had me doubting myself so I’ve just downloaded Stretch Lite, chucked it on an sd card, booted an old Pi2 and yes, htop is already there.
