I posted this problem on the LinksysInfo.org site as well but I had good luck here previously with the fine folks in this forum so here it is. I have a Netgear R7000 running R7000_380.68.4 Xwrt-Vortex firmware and all of a sudden my scripts stopped working. I have a script called...

thelonelycoder - yep looks just like you said with "cru l" - thank you (and hopefully no offense taken)! Looking forward to this running next Monday. Appreciate everyone's responses and helpful comments - thanks again. Update: the script executed tonite at 7:50PM - woo hoo!

thanks Jack Yaz - yes I would think that would work as well

Hi thelonelycoder - thanks for your response - interesting solution. Wouldn't you need to also escape the %d as well?

ColinTaylor, Ah ok. I removed the "sh" and the broadcast IP - and it worked when run manually! Thank you! Unfortunately now it appears my services-start.sh doesn't run at boot time - only when I manually execute it. What should the file type be for the services-start file? I saved it as a...

ColinTaylor Thanks - I thought I had done that as I used Notepad ++ but apparently I didn't set the preferences correctly. I recreated both files in Notepad++ with UTF-8 encoding, saved as Unix files (changed extension from .bash to .sh) and uploaded to jffs/scripts with WinSCP and then via...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to create a crontab in XVortex-Merlin (380.67) to wake up a server at a certain time. I have a script in /jffs/scripts called services-start to call the WOL file wol_nas.sh: #!/bin/sh #crontab for sending WOL packet to DADS_NAS at 10:55 pm every Sunday and 7:55pm cru a...
