I am finalizing an update with a lot of optimizations, better logging (using /var/log instead of dmesg), and with a really nice html page. I will publish the update in a few days or weeks.

Wow, what great news. Cant wait for the html-page! When it comes to optimizations I don't know how you do that, it is doing miracles already:)

It so fun to follow your projects here and see them evolve from what I deem as perfection, to be proven wrong all the time, to see it can even be made better by you authors.
 
1.2.5 is available.
Code: 
aegis clean
aegis upgrade
aegis restart

Then to install Web Companion (the Web interface), do:
Code: 
aegis web -install
Then just go to: http://routerlogin.net/bolemo/aegis.htm
Et voilà :)

Web Companion allows to see status, send some commands like update, restart and clean, and to watch log.
In the log view, click an IP to have info, and a port to open a page with port info.
Web Companion also allows to upgrade aegis if a new version is available: a red UPGRADE tab will show up when a new version is available.

Web Companion does not allow to edit lists yet.

Web Companion is optional. If you don’t install it, aegis upgrades will be done just on Aegis Core (the actual aegis).
If you install it, Web Companion will automatically be upgraded at the same time than Aegis Core.

To install it just do: aegis web -install
To remove, just do: aegis web-remove
INFO: the -html option does not exists anymore.

Other improvements are new optimizations and new engine not restarting the internal firewall unless you use restart.
The aegis log is prettier and has a -lines=N option to show the last N lines.

Enjoy !
 
Thanks for update.This is what I get

That’s before the upgrade? So with version 1.4.1?
Is aegis info working for example?

If v1.4.1, skip clean and just do aegis upgrade first, then try aegis restart.
 
OK, having a web interface issue.
Some of the decorations display but the meat of the data on both STATUS & LOG is:

Error loading status: code 404

just upgraded successfully.

But it did take me two attempts.

I copied all 3 lines from the instruction at once and pasted them to the console.
But probably somehow, the 3rd line was taken as part of the input for the y/n question.
Because I did type y + enter, but then I was back at the prompt and still again had to give the aegis restart command.
And upon doublechecking with aegis status, I noticed it hadn't actually upgraded.

Then I retried line by line and then it went oke.

Code: 
root@R7800:~$ aegis clean

I can no longer test this, but perhaps this minor issue could be worked around by using this oneliner for the upgrade: ??
Code: 
aegis clean && aegis upgrade && aegis restart
 
Also tried the web function and also getting the 404

http://routerlogin.net/bolemo/cgi-bin/aegis_web.cgi is missing.
(also /opt/bolemo/www/cgi-bin/aegis_web.cgi is missing)


and the web -install function could use some additional checks, before mv or mkdir:
(probably the cause of the above)

Code: 
root@R7800:~$ aegis web -install

To be safe, the upgrade should be each line separately, one at a time.

I will look now into the Web Companion download problems.

Yes, script is supposed to check and create the folder (as you do here).
Checking now...

Thanks for posting the quick fix while I am working on it ;-)

fixed it here, thanks guys!

One little thought - upgrade tells me I can get version 1.2.7, but no where tells me what version I am currently running.
Although I know I am on 1.2.6.
 
Ok, 1.2.7 is here. it should fix the aegis web -install bug (before doing it twice probably would have worked, or @R. Gerrits fix of course :) )
