leds control script

[TheLyppardMan]

I just tried the led-control script on my router (non-entware setup) but when the script turned the leds back on, two of them remained off (the 2.5GHz LAN & USB drive leds) and would only come back on when I uninstalled the script. I'm just curious as to why that might have happened? I did notice similar behaviour on earlier ASUS routers, so it's not specific to my current router.

The one I wrote for amtm?
Run this to confirm, to turn them on:

nvram set led_disable=0
nvram commit
service restart_leds

To turn them off set to 1

That's the one.

If I manually paste in the code you provided above, all the leds that should come on do so. But if I install your script via amtm, only the first five leds light up. The 2.5GHz LAN and the USB drive leds remain off.

How about these two commands:

/jffs/addons/amtm/ledcontrol -on
/jffs/addons/amtm/ledcontrol -off

Do I need to install your script before issuing the above commands?

amtm keeps a tidy house, it removes every file no longer needed if an addon is removed or gone.

I've just tried the manual commands and also using the script. When the leds come back on, it's just the one for the USB drive that doesn't light up.

The script and the manual commands do the exact same thing - that Pro model acting up?

No idea. I seem to recall that I noticed this happening with other ASUS routers.

Makes no sense to me. Can you grab some data for me?
Turn the LEDs on with

nvram set led_disable=0
service restart_leds

Then save nvram the LED state with

nvram show | sort | grep '^led_\|AllLED' >/home/root/nvram-led-on.txt

And then off with

nvram set led_disable=1
service restart_leds

Then save nvram the LED state with

nvram show | sort | grep '^led_\|AllLED' >/home/root/nvram-led-off.txt

Check that the LEDs state is correct, then post the content of the files.

If the state is not correct, run 'nvram commit' before service restart.

 

[TheLyppardMan]

I'm still a novice at scripts, so could you explain how I do a nvram commit?

 

[thelonelycoder]

Just add the extra command like so for the off state:

nvram set led_disable=1
nvram commit
service restart_leds
