Turn off update checker, interferes with automated sim runs
Posted: 29 Sep 2019, 17:41
I need to turn off the automatic update checker as it is causing havoc with my attempts to run sims over nights and weekends. After setting a series of simulations running using (on a linux terminal)
for i in {1..20}; do ../vrep.sh -g70.5 '/home/user/Downloads/V-REP_PRO_EDU_V3_5_0_Linux/scenes/filename.ttt' -s300000 -q ; done ;
I leave it running only to find that ratehr than complete all the 20 sims it has stopped after just a few and spent hours sitting waiting for me to click to ignore the pop-up which announces that a new version is out. I want to update at some point but I'd ratehr just get my series of runs done on the present ersion I have. And I don't want my unattended runs of sims over the nights and weekends stopped by a pop-up which needs human attention to fix it. I haven't noticed a V-REP setting anywhere that stops this automatic checking, and an online search about turning off V-REP updates gives no relevant results. Is there a config file anywhere in V-REP's folder that I could delete or modify so as to prevent this automatic checking? Or any specific rule I could add to a linux ubuntu ufw firewall to block V-REP's ability to check against your online servers whether a new version is available? I'm desperate for help with this, having my runs paused awaiting a human click makes gathering statistical data impossible.
Thank you
Would editing the 8 byte file updtChck.data perhaps help? I'm guessing it has something to do with deciding at what tiems of day to check for updates?
