    MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.1.2 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (Now available in AMTM)

    Your "Before schedule modification" screenshot shows that there was an error in the script path used by the cron job: 0 0 * * 0 sh /./jffs/scripts/MerlinAU.sh run_now #MerlinAU# During startup, the shell script looks for its path in the scheduled cron job as follows: sh...

    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.3 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin, April 30, 2024

    Ah, now that makes more sense. I just submitted the PR with my changes. I hope this addresses your situation.

    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.3 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin, April 30, 2024

    @thelonelycoder, I've submitted a GitHub PR with my latest changes for the next "2.5.3" release version. Here is the info for the Release Notes: 1) NEW webGUI option to enable/disable the "NTP Ready" check performed at startup. 2) NEW webGUI option to enable/disable the "dnsmasq tainted"...

    Question about locking a port forward rule to a source IP

    Since you didn't mention the SSH keys specifically, I would recommend making sure to disallow "Password Login" and use *only* strong SSH keys for authentication (2048-bit RSA or Ed25119 keys). It's good to have a more robust extra layer of security, especially when SSH is open over the WAN, even...

    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.3 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin, April 30, 2024

    This last sentence is confusing. If your WAN connection is down, which "updates" are you checking? scMerlin updates? F/W updates? Why would you check for any "updates" if your WAN is not connected? Or, are you referring to the NTP synchronization attempts as "updates"? EDIT: BTW, I've...

    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.3 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin, April 30, 2024

    My understanding is the user is asking for a menu option to manually enable/disable the "NTP Ready" check performed by the add-on during startup. So if the user disables this check, it would be the user's responsibility to enable it back at some later point. I'm guessing the idea is to disable...

    scMerlin scMerlin 2.5.3 - Service and script control menu for Asuswrt-Merlin, April 30, 2024

    If I understand correctly, essentially you'd like to bypass the 10-minute while-loop that checks for the "ntp_ready" NVRAM variable during the script initialization because under some circumstances your WAN connection is not established or goes down, but you still would like to run scMerlin...

    scMerlin Not Showing Free jffs With Merlin 388.7 alpha2

    Based on your findings, I have a pretty good idea of what the problem is and where to fix it. I'll take a look this evening and submit a PR. UPDATE: A PR has been submitted to the @thelonelycoder's GitHub repository for the next "2.5.2" release version.

    Tutorial **Tailscale On Merlin**

    If the router is running RMerlin's F/W and you have installed Entware successfully using AMTM then you should have the following line in your "/jffs/scripts/post-mount" script: . /jffs/addons/amtm/mount-entware.mod # Added by amtm The above line ensures that all installed Entware services are...

    Does the latest AsusWRT/Merlin FW has a memory leak?

    When the RAM usage goes over 90%, and you think there might be something that's using "too much memory" and not releasing it, you could use the following script (available in GitHub) as a diagnostics tool to log some memory stats: curl -kLSs --retry 3 --retry-delay 5 --retry-connrefused \...

    KILLMON KILLMON v1.1.2 -Feb 29, 2024- IP4/IP6 VPN Kill Switch Monitor & Configurator (Now available in AMTM!)

    Yes, good point. When I ran the command "ulimit -a" on my RT-AC86U, no entry for "pending signals" was found at all. I ran the same command in more recent AX-class models running F/W 388.6_2 versions and no "pending signals" entry was listed either, so the alternative to get all current limits...

    KILLMON KILLMON v1.1.2 -Feb 29, 2024- IP4/IP6 VPN Kill Switch Monitor & Configurator (Now available in AMTM!)

    This type of error usually indicates that the process has reached the limit of some particular system resource as defined by the kernel limits (see "ulimit -a"). In the case of the "timeout" command, it could be that the maximum number of pending signals was reached at some point, or perhaps the...

    Solved When are passwd and shadow files created?

    To modify those files use "passwd.postconf" & "shadow.postconf" scripts. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Custom-config-files#postconf-scripts

    vnStat WebUI page not found vnStat & connmon

    Whenever you run into this scenario of "missing" webGUI pages, type the following commands (including the enclosing curly braces) in an SSH terminal window & post the output: { ls -AlF /www/user*.asp ; echo grep -E 'url: "user[0-9]+.asp",' /www/require/modules/menuTree.js } Does the...

    YazFi YazFi v4.x - continued

    I don't know the specific reasons behind @Jack Yaz's design decision to essentially do a full reset & reconfiguration of the YazFi Guest Networks (including turning OFF & then back ON the WiFi radios) when the script is called from within the firewall-start script. My guess is that since the...
