-In normal operation, the repeater controller is set to start itself on boot-up.  However, for configuration and testing there are a number of additional commands that can be used from the SSH command line.
-===Stopping the Controller===
-The controller can be stopped by entering
- stop
-at the command line.  This tells all the repeater processes to stop and should show a "Controller Software Not Running" caption on the HDMI output.
-===Editing the Configuration File===
-You can edit the configuration file with the command
- nano atv-rptr/config/repeater_config.txt
-Use the arrow keys to move about (not the mouse) and save by pressing ctrl-x, y and then enter.  Discard changes by simply pressing ctrl-x and then n.
-If it has all gone wrong, you can start again with a factory-fresh configuration file using the command
- cp atv-rptr/config/repeater_config.txt atv-rptr/config/repeater_config.txt.factory
-Note that you will lose all if your previous edits.
-===Restarting the Controller for Testing===
-You can restart the controller for testing by entering
- rptr
-You will see a running commentary of what the repeater is doing in the console window.  However, if you close the window, the repeater will stop.
-You can start the repeater so that it runs and keeps a log of what it is doing (even if you close the controller window) by entering this command:
- nohup atv-rptr/utils/run_rptr_nohup_with_log.sh &
-Then press ctrl-c to get back to the command prompt.
-If you see behaviour that you want to investigate, enter
- stop
-to force the last bit of the log to be written to the file, and then enter
- tail -25 log.txt
-to see the last 25 lines of the log.
