Running .sh from an automation

Configuration
1

Hey y’all, I need some help getting HA to run a .sh file from an automation. I currently have this in my configuration.yaml

shell_command:
  config_backup: bash /home/config/ha_gitpush.sh

And this in my automations.yaml

  action:
    - device_id: 4ad5ea3996c1d479a603a7a4b7d71550
      domain: mobile_app
      type: notify
      message: "It’s raining at soaringstoneridge "
      title: Rain
  mode: single
- id: l1k3
  alias: Backup HA configuration to GitHub repo
  trigger:
    - platform: time
      at: 00:00:00
  action:
    - service: shell_command.config_backup
      data: {}

And get this error

Error running command: `/config/ha_gitpush.sh`, return code: 128
NoneType: None
2

is that executable?

3

I’m able to run it from the terminal, and I ran chmod 755 /config/ha_gitpush.sh with the same issues

4

Hold the bus - why do you have /home in the path to the command?

5

To be honest, just something someone recommended on a different forum post.

6

Try just /config/ha_gitpush.sh

What’s in the script?

9

like the docs say, enter the HA container and try the command.

10 
cd /config
git add .
git commit -m "config files on `date +'%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S'`"
git push -u orgin master
11

Works fine from both inside the docker container, and running it thru a terminal addon, just not thru automations.

12

I suspect that git isn’t available in the HA container.

13

Alright. How would I go about fixing it? I just don’t get why I can run it from within the HA container, and thru the terminal, but not the automations.

14

It is in mine.

Set your log level to debug.

hey, same problem for me, im using shell_command for turning off windows PCs

 shell_command:
     turn_off_pc: "net rpc shutdown -f -t 2 -C 'Turned off from HASS' -U <winlogin>%<winpass> -I <winIP>"

im getting the same error as TS when trying to execute that from HASS (automation/switch)

Error running command: `net rpc shutdown -f -t 2 -C 'Turned off from HASS' -U <winlogin>%<winpass> -I <winIP>`, return code: 127

NoneType: None

that command works fine when executing manually from Advanced SSH & Web Terminal addon

seems like this started to happen after last Home Assistant updates
@bbro44 have you found a solution to the problem?
