Executes yadtshell commands triggered by a yadtbroadcaster.

Since yadtreceiver is a python application you can install it using pip

sudo pip install yadtreceiver

Unfortunately tar will not set the permissions as required:

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/yadtreceiver

Put a file called receiver.cfg into the directory /etc/yadtshell/

[receiver]
log_filename = /var/log/yadtreceiver.log
targets = dev*
targets_directory = /etc/yadtshell/targets
script_to_execute = /usr/bin/yadtshell

[broadcaster]
host = broadcaster.domain.tld
port = 8081

targets is a whitelist with glob-like expressions, like foo* will match everything starting with foo, e.g. foobar, foobaz, etc. The receiver will watch the targets directory for target configurations which names are covered by the whitelist and subscribe to them without the need to restart the receiver.

After installation you will find a minimal service script in /etc/init.d. Maybe you want/need to modify the script to make it fit to your *nix distribution.

sudo service yadtreceiver start

The receiver can be operated in a cluster by subscribing several receivers to the same target. They will then decide which receiver fulfills the request by issuing votes and using the following state machine:
