Script not working

[TheLyppardMan]

I have created a script in jffs, the same one I used on my RT-N66U and which worked fine on that device. However, it is not working on my RT-AC68U, despite rebooting the router a couple of times.

I have uploaded a few screenshots so that you can see what I am talking about.

If anyone has any ideas what might be the problem, I'd be very pleased to hear. I am using Merlin's build 378.56_2

Have you given the scripts permission to run?
Paste this into the terminal and hit Enter, then reboot.

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*

No, I hadn't done that as I assumed that since the script just worked with my RT-N66U it would have done the same on the RT-AC68U. I'll give it a try, but do I just paste the command into the Telnet prompt after logging in (sorry, I'm still a newbie at all this cripting stuff)?

Just paste it and hit Enter. It'll make all files in /jffs/scripts/ executable which is required for them to run.

Thanks. I've done that and it worked when I tested it, so I've reset the times back to tonight/tomorrow morning and then rebooted the router again, just in case. I'll see what happens tonight.
