notify_rc start_webs_update

Router: RT-AX88U Pro
Firmware: 3004.388.8_2

Since the last few firmware versions (can't remember exactly, maybe 3-5 versions ago). I'm getting intermitted disconnects and seeing this in the log:

Aug 25 22:14:00 router rc_service: httpds 2351:notify_rc start_webs_update
Aug 25 22:14:00 router custom_script: Running /jffs/scripts/service-event (args: start webs_update)

No apparent cause, nothing else in the logs around that time. But when i do notice it occur during periods of heavy traffic, not often but it's happened a few times recently. IDK what could be causing it to start an update, I have the setting to auto-check for updates disabled.



I have just a few scripts running. Here are my cron jobs:

This usually means someone clicked the check for updates button in the GUI.

Thanks for your response, but can assure you that did not happen. There’s some obscure bug in the firmware, perhaps something is overflowing a buffer and flipping a bit. Here’s a thread from 10 years ago of the same problem: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-ac68u-rebooting-on-its-own.15502/

It’s only happened 2 or 3 times that I am aware of in the last few months. I’ll try a clean install but what a pita to have to reconfigure everything.
