How to run a script with merlin?

[fitnesspmm]

Hi,

I received a script to run with Merlin where I don't know how to load it. What do I need to do?

I've had a look around but I can't find a user guide anywhere.

I created the directory /jffs/scripts/ on the External Drive attached to my Router.

I created a file called 'nat-start' and put it in the directory /jffs/scripts/

So now it will automatically run everytime the router reboots?

I have this line in my script

chmod 0755 /jffs/scripts/services-start
reboot

Do I need to change the file name to services-start instead?

Try and read the wiki again.

While Asuswrt-Merlin only adds a limited number of new features over the original firmware, a lot of customizations can be achieved through the use of user scripts. These will allow you to set up custom firewall rules, create jobs that can be run at scheduled intervals, or start new services.

Those scripts are stored in the internal non-volatile flash in the JFFS partition. Support for these scripts must be enabled, under Administration -> System on the webui.

/jffs is a folder within the root of your router (in flash), it's not a directory on your hard disk.
