amtm amtm 4.9.1 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, August 17, 2024

[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 firmware 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.

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.

Today, amtm is 6 years and exactly 9 months old. That‘s 2465 days of continued improvement and support.
Not a bad for a reclusive coder

Here‘s how amtm got the kick off: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/s...curity-enhancements.16798/page-71#post-360428

A reclusive coder who listens to his users — he doesn't necessarily implement every suggestion, but he certainly continuously refines, redefines, and maintains!

What’s the old quote about any club that would have me as a member??

In the last few weeks I often see this:

- Entware server bin.entware.net unreachable
- Entware server entware.diversion.ch unreachable
- Using Entware server mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn,
  Mirror by Beijing Foreign Studies University

Is this a "me problem" or do more folks run into this?

And is there a way to configure which mirrors are (not) used?

(I'm not really happy with updating my software stack from a server in a country where the government has a different view on privacy/security and might inject spyware; I would strongly prefer a mirror in the EU)

From amtm menu "ep" then select 0ption #3.

Already used that, but since bin.entware.net and entware.diversion.ch are often not reachable (here) amtm falls back to mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn…

Have you made custom alterations that would affect it that way?
When last I set mine, it would not update or fallback to another server.
I'm using entware.diversion.ch, and his server is not always as quickly updated to the newest as fast as the others.
Sometimes the delay is favorable.

Kind of a noob question, but I just got a RT-AX86U Pro and installed amtm and diversion to it. When it installed, does it no longer install onto the USB stick?

Previous installs on my old RT-AC68U used USB stick.

Thanks

Scripts are generally installed in /jffs/scripts with addons installed in per-script subdirectories of /jffs/addons. USB is for swap and data files.

I have only selected option 1:

 Testing Entware servers, current server in
 use: bin.entware.net

 1. bin.entware.net - Primary server by Entware team (recommended)
 2. entware.diversion.ch - Mirror by thelonelycoder
 3. mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn - Mirror by Beijing Foreign Studies University

 Select Entware server to use [1-3 e=Exit]
