Triggering bash script

[RobW]

Hi,

I want to trigger a bash script on the router, without logging in. To turn the vpn_client on or off (not event based, but just when I want).
What are the options, without running cru jobs very often ?

Is this possible ?

What is the trigger condition?

BTW the router doesn't have bash, it has ash.

If you have an iOS device you can create a shortcut similar to what was done for Diversion (just an ssh shortcut).

Hi,

I have no ios device.
Is it possible to create a new destination like http://router_ip/stop_vpn_client1 and when I go there it starts the script. And without logging in.

Just trying to figure out my options.

No, not without installing a separate web server on the router.

I found a way.

First: installed inotifywait
Then : mounted USB drive in Router

I have an USB in the router, so I used a map for triggering.
I pinned (in windows on the taskbar) two batch files, to copy a file to the USB.

And after boot, the following script is automatically starting.

#!/bin/sh
inotifywait -m /mnt/Router/Trigger -e create -e moved_to |
while read path action file; do
#echo "The file '$file' appeared in directory '$path' via '$action'"

case $file in
VPN_ON)
rm $path$file
service start_vpnclient1
;;
VPN_OFF)
rm $path$file
service stop_vpnclient1
;;
*)
rm $path$file
;;
esac
done


Just finnished this idea. Hope it's stable
