Scheduled Wireless

[alan_smithee]

Hi,
I've been searching in the forums and wiki but I can't find the command to turn off both radio's (2.4 and 5.0).

I want to create a cron job that enables wireless at daytime and disables it at night.

When I look at the scheduled LED control page, I think it should look something like this:

services-start:
#!/bin/sh
cru a wirelessoff "0 23 * * * /jffs/scripts/wirelessoff.sh"
cru a wirelesson "0 6 * * * /jffs/scripts/wirelesson.sh"

wirelessoff.sh:
#!/bin/sh
nvram set ........
vram commit
service restart......

wirelesson.sh
#!/bin/sh
nvram set .........
nvram commit
service restart........

in wireles/professional tab you can set scheduler for wifi.
Not need cron job

Of course U did....

The relevent Wifi interface commands:

and the command to effect the configuration change..

service restart_wireless

P.S. Jury remains out on the use of the 'nvram commit' (or even vram ) given concerns about its potential detrimental impact on the life of NVRAM etc. but personally I don't think two writes per day is cause for concern.

Thank you both.
I could have sworn I also Googled the phrase "Script to disable enable WiFi"...

Sometimes Google can be inconsistent with its results, but this is how how I did it...
