Schedule LED Control Script not working

ivan0590

New Around Here
Hello. I have the Asus RT-AC68U router with the last Merlin firmware installed (384.4_2). I'm completely new to asus routers and I'm still adapting to it. But so far I'm not having mayor problems except for the following.

I was trying to schedule the led control following the guide (https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Scheduled-LED-control) but somehow it doesn't work.

I created both lightsoff.sh and lightson.sh scripts and gave them permissions. I executed them manually and they worked perfectly.
I created the services-start script and gave it permissions. This is his content:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
cru a lightsoff "0 0 * * * /jffs/scripts/ledsoff.sh"
cru a lightson1 "0 8 * * 0-4 /jffs/scripts/ledson.sh"
cru a lightson2 "30 12 * * 5,6 /jffs/scripts/ledson.sh"

After that, I rebooted the router and tried to list the cron jobs using the cru l command but the list was empty, so the services-start script didn't work.

What I'm doing wrong?

Run "dos2unix /jffs/scripts/*" should work. (Without the quotes)

Did you turn on script execution (I think it's on the Administration>System page)?
