Hello Freddy,

what is the difference between the "start" mode and the "cron" mode ?

I think there is an error in your readme. I had to put "/jffs/thinclient.sh start >> /var/log/thinclient.log 2>&1" into my startscript, otherwise it won't start without the .sh extension.
After that I checked my /tmp/crontab but there is no cron job inside.
The thinclient.log is created and the entry to known_hosts added.

What could be a reason that the entry is missing in crontab ?
When I start /jffs/thinclient.sh start after the first start done by the startup script manually, I get my cron entry. I don't understand this. The same with the first time per hand without startup script, no problem.

When the entry in the crontab had been added... need cron be restarted to read the new entry or will it happen automatically ?

By the way ... I think your skript is great leap forward Very Happy

but I have this little problem.

ehh, linux dosn't care about file extensions, the file should be called thinclient, just make sure it's executable (chmod)

on boot (start) all information are sent to the fon server, on cron it's less information and there's a random sleep (to avoid ddos on FON servers. And only on start it will check for the crontab line.

which version on dd-wrt you're using? you can try to just remove the if for the cron line and add it allways (don't call start after boot then Wink

)

really strange.

Did you rename the file?
I would try to add e.g.
ls /jffs/ > /tmp/ls.log
to the startup script, can you mail me the firmware .bin? (files@freddy.eu.org)

Hmmm... guess I should've checked my crontab as well...

Mine is the same as fulbrich's except that I with

something must be different, I didn't get a firmware mail up to now, and I can't find on dd-wrt.com

I still don't get an entry in crontab...

Did you run it manually, or via the startup this time ?

Changed anything in the script ?

Did mode change from "start" to "cron" in the thinclient.log ?

Will have a closer look at the script and my own setup of the firmware..

Just wonder if there has been a change with cron in SP2 from SP1 std 06/06/06

I added a sleep 10 and checks for the files to the script, it's working fine now with SP1, just reload it

Ciao Freddy.
As a workaround , I made a modification to your script as follows .

THis looks like the thread to ask...

How do I run a script on the Fon firmware 0.6.6 everytime it boots ?
(It's regards IPTABLES)
Am I right in thinking it could go here: /etc/firewall.user

Will this survive a FON reboot ?

Final get working with dd-wrt v23 sp.1 special version provided by fulbrich.

Just follow the instructions of freddy , and modified the exec_start_mode part of the thinclient script.

I put a sleep 60 , as i need at least 45 seconds before boot and authenticate with PPPoA with my dsl line. Users behind dsl routers or PPPoE modems can decrease or wipe out the sleep time.

I must wait 16.00 CET + urandom time to see if cron will make it's dirty work Smile

if you want you can download the script here:

you can try to replace all "==" with just "=", which firmware you're using?

If you pasted your scripts into vi from notepad, you may have some ' and " characters or others changed. Comb over those scripts to make sure there aren't any extra characters or ^M at the end. Idea

Hello,
I decided to publish the version of DD-WRT which I use.
It is a compiled version without KIAD which gives you more space to write to the /jffs partition.

Version : "DD-WRT v23 SP1 std generic" compiled on 06/06/2006

(BS renamed his compilation of this Version with KAID from SP1 to SP2
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/untested_alpha_unstable/dd-wrt.v23 SP2)

I guess my version is the same above but WITHOUT Kaid.
Freddy put this KAID-less version onto his webserver.
