Firstly - thanks to all who have contributed to Asuswrt-Merlin and custom scripts
I was running 384.16 perfectly fine with SkyNet, Diversion, Fresh JR QoS script. Updated today, loosly following L&LD's steps - didn't make config backups, and not all the setting changes suit me - but followed the important steps such as factory resets, reboots and JFFS format. Link bellow.

I also reformatted my USB which contained the Swap
However, since updating I have had serious problems. When I first connected via SSH and loaded up amtm I got -sh: can't fork error which isn't good. I did another factory reset and JFFS format. When that didnt help I reflashed 384.17
Since then I am getting regular can't fork errors and have given up trying to install any custom scripts since I just end up with can't fork errors and an inability to connect to the gui / reconnect ssh, without reboots. The router is stable ish as long as I don't try and load amtm or custom scripts.
Am I right in thinking this is a memory problem?
Currently I cannot access the GUI but have access to the internet. So I will do a reboot once posted...
What further steps can I take to fix this? And please let me know if I have messed up somehow so I won't do it again.
I am considering following L&LD's nuclear reset guide: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/major-issues-w-rt-ac86u.56342/page-4#post-495710 but would appreciate some advice from someone more experienced in these matters.
Edit: just connected via ssh after the reboot and was looking around the filesystem with df and ls. After about 30 seconds I could no longer use ls or df without getting can't fork errors which was followed by the web gui becoming inaccessable again.
Cheers,
Tom
