RT-N56U cli commands

[toothandnail]

I've recently picked up a second hand RT-N56U router, running the Padavan firware. Generally pretty happy with it so far, but I do have a question....

The one thing that I found useful in my otherwise-dreadful Technicolor 582n (ISP supplied) router was the ability to log in via telnet and toggle the wifi on and off. While the Asus provides cron events to do this, that is not really flexible enough for my needs. So I'm wondering if there is a list of available cli commands that can be used on the Asus - I'd love to be able to script toggling wifi (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) on and off as I need them.

I've got SSH login enabled, so I can get to the CLI easily enough, but I've not so far found anything which gives me a list of what commands are available.

This is a shell to a whole OS (Linux), not just a short list of specialized commands as in your modem. Documenting what can be run there would fill up a book.
