How to rerun archiving if BBB was stopped when meeting was active?

[virus.f...@gmail.com]

Hello

I have such a problem: sometimes meetings do not get archived, probably when BBB server is stopped when a meeting was still active.

If I find the meeting ID in /var/log/ and then do:

cd /usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts

ruby archive/archive.rb -m <meeting ID>

then meeting is archived correctly, /var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/<meeting ID> is created.

The question is how to make BBB archive meetings which are active at the moment when server is shutdown? They are active just because some of participant forgot to leave 1+ hours ago.

I tried to hack like this:

<...>

bbb-conf --stop

<...>

recording_units="$(systemctl list-dependencies --plain bbb-record-core.target | awk '{print $NF}' | tr '\n' ' ')"

systemctl start ${recording_units}

sleep 3m

AWAITING=1

for i in $(seq 1 30)

do

    if systemctl is-active -q bbb-rap-archive-worker.service

        then sleep 1m

        else AWAITING=0 && break

    fi

done

if [ "$AWAITING" = 1 ]; then

    echo "XXX bbb-rap-archive-worker.service has been active for more than 30 mins, killing it!"

    systemctl stop "$recording_units"

fi

but this did not solve the problem. Running

systemctl start bbb-record-core.target bbb-rap-archive-worker.service bbb-rap-events-worker.service bbb-rap-process-worker.service bbb-rap-publish-worker.service bbb-rap-sanity-worker.service

does not trigger archiving of such recordings.

Please help to understand how to better handle stopping BBB when there are active meetings. Thanks!

I've made such a script to workaround this problem, but it is just an ugly hack...

Curious why would you ever have the need to stop bbb when meetings are running?

 I turn on additional servers for a few days when there is high load and then turn off them, meetings are not really running, but there may be left ones which are formally running but no people are using them.
