Thats OK, thanks.
You will have to wait until I release AB-Solution with "some sort of" pixelserv. There's no such thing as a rudimentary pixelserve solution. It's the real thing or nothing. Serving a pixel involves a webserver to serve the pixel. Thats a lot of work to implement into my script and involves a fair amount of testing. I believe it is well worth the wait.

Run this in a terminal: cru l
(lower case L) and post the output.
admin@RT-AC87U-FCB8:/tmp/home/root# cru l
00 02 * * 7 /tmp/mnt/ASUS/adblocking/update-hosts.sh #UpdateHosts#
Also before having the error I restarted the router and I saw that the file "ab-solution.sh" has disappeared. I used again the link from first post for installing the ab-solution.

The 7 is supposed to be the day the update runs. Sunday is a 0 or a 7, and for some reason the chron is not parsing the 7. If you change that line in the script from 7 to 0, it will work. See TLC's post #97 in this thread.
Also, AB-Solution picks the day of the week that it is installed for the update job. If you want another day, then you can substitute 0 through 6 in place of the 7 for your choice of Sunday through Saturday.

Change this line in /jffs/scripts/services-start from
cru a UpdateHosts "00 02 * * 7 /tmp/mnt/ASUS/adblocking/update-hosts.sh"
to
Code:
cru a UpdateHosts "00 02 * * 0 /tmp/mnt/ASUS/adblocking/update-hosts.sh"AB-Solution 1.1 will have a work-around for Sunday scheduled updates.
If you downloaded ab-solution.sh with wget it most likely will be stored in the /home/root/ directory on your router. This is a volatile directory and gets wiped and created new at every boot up.
AB-Solution 1.1 will have a helpful add-on to move ab-solution.sh to the USB device and place a link to it to /home/root/ if you select that option.

AB-Solution 1.0 runs flawlessly with Ausuwrt-Merlin 380.58_beta1
Maybe it will be an idea to have this solution integrated in FW with that menu options in GUI.
This will avoid usage of FTP or putty by not so advanced users (just for consumers).
Adds are a pain for all but not all consumers will be able to use your this very useful solution.
Probably 80-90% of users are GUI users (including me

You probably don't realize what amount of work this would involve to maintain an integrated Firmware GUI Version of AB-Solution.Maybe it will be an idea to have this solution integrated in FW with that menu options in GUI.

But first: @RMerlin will NOT include an Ad-Blocker in his firmware. His reasons are well known and make sense, search the forum for details.
I will not create a fork of Asuswrt-Merlin that includes AB-Solution. The sheer amount of work to make and maintain these for all Merlin supported models is way beyond the time I am willing to spend on this.
What you also don't seem to realize is that AB-Solution IS my answer to allow "layman's" to setup ad-blocking on ASUS routers without much knowledge of the workings behind the scene.
So, what else do you want from me?
TLC:
There is something hinky in the timestamps in the logging. See this as part of a boot sequence shortly after the NTP sync resets the clock to 21:07:19:
The time stamps are all 21:07, except that the FTP Server and the Samba Server message exactly an hour earlier in two places, and then the custom config and custom script entries the same. Perhaps a daylight savings time thing? Are there two clocks?
N66U with 58 beta 1, otherwise performing normally.

custom config: Those are calls made by the system, and I seem to remember they are not run in a particular order. So it could be they were scheduled to be executed at that time-stamp's time but delayed by other calls. Then daylight savings time kicked in.
But really, I have no explanation for that and it is not in the least worrying.

A teaser of what's coming in AB-Solution 1.1.
Don't ask for a release date though, the past two weeks were extremely hectic for me.
