| | Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 14:03 Post subject: cron and reboot or apply settings | hey all,
im using TP-Link TL-WR740N v4 router.
my goal that im trying to get to is i want my wireless to change its MAC and SSID every few mins for use with streetpass(Nintendo ds or so now as homepass)
im trying to do this with using only cron. so far i have found a code that will change the MAC and SSID but will not apply the settings or reboot

the code when i found it had '&& reboot' at the end of the lines but it wouldnt work for me so i removed them.
so at the moment i have been hitting apply settings and its working but i would like cron to do it so i dont have to worry about hitting apply settings every 9 min and spend more time having fun
any help would be great and thanks in advance[/quote] |

I don’t know who wrote the original script, but whoever it was did a pretty bad job. All I see are numerous syntax errors (e.g., not putting semi-colons between commands), and too much reliance on && (that can lead to unexpected results if you’re not careful).
A few months back I helped someone w/ a very similar problem, and presumably using the same script as the basis for their own script. I provided a properly coded script, but they never responded as to whether it worked for them (worked for me). The script I provided is the PROPER way to build a series of commands to be executed by cron.

thanks eidgrad
unfortunately thats worse for me now the MAC or SSID are not changing. but i could have edited the code wrong

but i did notice that the time on the dd wrt was at 00:15:02 up 15 min so im thinking every time i reboot the router its going back to 00:00:00
is there anyway of a apply settings instead of reboot? then i wouldnt have to worry about the time??
EDIT: just noticed that when copying and pasting some of the code changed. have to get some sleep now so will try and fix it in the morning or next time i have a few mins to go though it again |

Looks to me like you processed this through some kind of html tool. Or at least the editor thought it was html. That's html markup code for handling special chars.

IOW, you messed up the script. |

hey eibgrad
when i edited it i was using notepad but sometimes my computer opened it in microsoft word and it had changed some of the cod to special chars. so when i copyed and pasted the code into cron and hit apply it changed to the &#-106; = - , &#-111; = ' , &#-110; = '
i did fix all of this before i posted last night but it didnt work for me |
