RTRMON RTRMON v1.6.9 -May 3, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest) [NEW THREAD OPENED]

[Viktor Jaep]

instead you can pass --accept-license --accept-gdpr to the speedtest binary and should avoid this situatuon

That's what I've been using. It seems to totally ignore those flags...

speed="$(/jffs/addons/rtrmon.d/speedtest --format=csv --interface=$WANIFNAME --accept-license --accept-gdpr)"

I even tried throwing in a 2>&1 to see if I could deflect it that way, but it seems like it's necessary to go through this process in order to create that initial license file.

weird, i dont seem to have any issues with including them in a docker container, and indeed spdmerlin doesn't have any license file handling code anymore

i wonder if order matters? (even though spdmerlin has them at the end like yours)

I have a feeling that these switches basically bypass the need to actually type "YES" at the prompt like it normally does... but in this case, it still wants to display the licensing message if that license file has not been created yet.

Out of all the examples I've seen, it seems to have these switches on the end... Well, I'm going to just discount it as a necessary evil, and continue to do the license copy process to avoid it from popping up again.

I was wondering when you were going to show up! I was passing the --@Jack Yaz argument.

@Viktor Jaep great job thanks, this addon has WebUI also?

Thanks @oOMrYairOo Alas, it does not come with a WebUI... It's the new trend -- terminal-based dashboards!

any plans to add ui?

 

[Viktor Jaep]

At this point... no. In the foreseeable future? Probably. Adding a web UI is a whole new level of complexity that I'm not quite ready for. But I'll eventually dive in and learn how it's done. For now, terminal-based dashboards running from the "screen" utility is my utility of choice. I can line up all my scripts in a row on one screen, flipping between each of them to give me a good idea what's happening on the router, vpn or through the electrical utility in my home.

ok, thanks. I personally prefer UI to monitor the router that's why I asked also is too bad that Asus cannot add SITE TO SITE VPN for people who needed, I'm working as a network IT admin and I need a dedicated box just for running STS.

As a previous network admin... I would prefer having a terminal in front of my face, so I can slam out needed commands to test, troubleshoot or connect to other systems/hardware. I understand your pain though... but I'm probably old-skool.

No but it has a terminal UI.

ncurses... to avoid flickering?

HA... I'm not sure if anyone has attempted an ncurses app just yet... How about let's pick the easier option -- buy a router with a faster processor! LOL! Doesn't the flickering/slow draws remind you of the golden age of terminal computing? I think it's nostalgic.

LOL Ohhh yeah... my BBS used to flicker profusely. This is a dream compared to downloading this over 2400 baud!
