amtm amtm 4.9 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, June 30, 2024 (locked thread)

[thelonelycoder]

Welcome, this is amtm 4.9.1, the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

amtm is a front end that manages popular scripts for wireless routers running Asuswrt-Merlin firmware. Starting with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15, amtm is included in the firmware.

What's new in amtm 4.9.1

• Adds support for amtm firmware update notification fw for: GT-BE98 (by @GNUton) and RT-BE96U, GT-BE98_PRO.
• Fixes dynamic LED control lc sunset/sunrise time scraping from weather.com - that is until they change their website source code again!
• Adds reverse dynamic time for LED control lc option, LEDs are on at night and off during the day. Thanks to @decedion for the suggestion.
• Swap file management sw now has option to change size instead of only deleting it.

How to update amtm
In the amtm menu, enter u to update to this latest version.
The firmware built-in and the legacy amtm version receive updates at the same time.

The full version history can be found on diversion.ch

amtm start command

amtm

On firmware older than 384.15, you may have to enter the full path to amtm.
Note that the command below does not work for the firmware built in amtm.

/jffs/scripts/amtm

Install command for Asuswrt-Merlin firmware older than 384.15
Copy and paste the complete command below into your favorite SSH terminal, then press Enter.

curl -Os https://diversion.ch/amtm/amtm && sh amtm

Routers with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware 384.15 and newer require no installation, amtm is included in the firmware. The firmware built in amtm adds FW next to the version.

amtm is hosted on the Diversion website: https://diversion.ch/amtm.html

updated...just to be able to play tetris on my router lol

Thanks for the update.

FYI I can break amtm as follows (this is not really the fault of amtm).

1. Install Disk check script (dc) and exit amtm.
2. Replace pre-mount script with my own (that contains an "e2fsck -p" command).
3. Launch amtm and it goes into a loop trying to display the error message "Unsupported pre-mount script found,\n please remove file manually".

You hacker! Of course amtm correctly reports the error when such a script is pre-existing.
In your case amtm finds that dc is installed but that the correct entry is missing in /jffs/scripts/pre-mount. It therefore triggers the install function which return to amtm with the message Unsupported pre-mount script found, please remove file manually which again triggers the check for the correct entry in /jffs/scripts/pre-mount. amtm blinkenlights ensues. Another game available in amtm, for instructions read above

- Let the games begin! g now offers a list of 10 games to play on the router. Note that the crawl game currently only works on older Mipsel routers. The Entware team works on a fix.

Any other questions why ASUS routers are the best? If you add Larn/Ularn i will be in 7th heaven.

this is what happens when you become Part of the Furniture - eventually your stuffing comes out ;-p

blinkenlights

Now that you used that word, I got something for you to have fun in the terminal.

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

PS: I guess their servers are having some problems but the last time I checked -a month ago- it was working properly.

For the ones who can't wait for their telnet server to be fixed, here's a website that shows what that is all about: https://asciinema.org/a/8

Who needs a million Cuda's when you have this!
NVIDIA - you're on notice

[thelonelycoder]

Minor fix is out for amtm, no version change.
This corrects a missing instruction case that prevented displaying the ps option to re-issue the pixelserv-tls WebUI certificate when it was previously installed.
Use u to update.

 

[thelonelycoder]

How to update amtm

[JGrana]

Just did the update - kudos for the sh history feature!
Works great and is a real time saver when debugging/exploring.

And hats off to the new addon developers now in amtm (@Maverickcdn and @Ranger802004 )
Thanks guys!

That's great, but what if amtm was updated first?

Also a suggestion: I launched amtm, entered u to check for updates, then after seeing there was a new Diversion version I checked the changelog, yay, back to terminal, pressed 1 to open Diversion..... BAM, amtm got updated, didn't realise there was a prompt there already automatically, to update amtm [1: update, e: exit]....... Maybe that 1 is not the best option if there's an automatic prompt, y or something that's not already in the menu above would be a better choice.

See what happens if you update amtm first - as you did - and then update Diversion.
Then open amtm again.
Magic huh?

Anyone else have the issue where shtris (g1) keeps getting uninstalled?

I need to keep reinstalling it after every reboot

See this thread, that game is intentionally installed to the /tmp folder which is recreated at boot time.
Since you have to reinstall each time didn't you notice what it says when installing:

 This installs shtris - Tetris optimized for Asuswrt-Merlin
 on your router.

 Author: DDD
 https://www.snbforums.com/threads/i-may-be-the-first-person-to-play-games-on-asus-router.79319/

 Note that this game will be deleted after
 restarting the router.

I can change the script to install to a non-volatile folder if that's what you want.

Oh thank you so much for figuring that out!
I think installing to a non-volatile folder folder would be a lot better. That way I don't need to reinstall every time I want to play

This would require that Entware is installed, is that the case with you?
