Alive

Alive.

The Alive application has two functions.

First, it checks every hour if YoloCam is still active. If YoloCam goes down for some obscure reason, it restarts the whole Raspberry Pi by rebooting.
In other words, it is a kind of software watchdog.

Second, it sends you an email every day at 0:00 AM to let you know that it is still active.
Very useful when YoloCam must detect burglars in your backyard. Something the camera will rarely trigger (hopefully).
Obviously, this function is not available on the GPIO version of YoloCam.

You can enable Alive by the setting Alive = 1 is the /mnt/WRdisk/settings.txt file.

The Alive app is just a few lines of code and is managed by the cron scheduler.

crontab -e
