amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

[thelonelycoder]

Wherever possible, I always appreciate seeing “(recommended)” against an option.

One and ext3 or ext4 where available. Good suggestion!

does the amtm reboot scheduler use any special process for reboot or is it just the standard reboot?

It uses the command service reboot

does this use the same standard as the GUI option, or is it a cleaner process?

I apologize for my ignorance on the matter, I just felt if i am using your awesome scripts, I should support it 100 percent. thank you for your guidance and hard work.

I believe the WebUI Reboot Scheduler uses the same mechanism now, at least since 384.11 and John's latest LTS fork after some investigation by @john9527 into the inner workings. @RMerlin merged the code into the mentioned version.
The amtm reboot scheduler is probably obsolete in it's function. But nevertheless, it's a nice feature for older firmware versions where the reboot command did not properly unmount attached USB devices.

For the time being, the function rs stays in amtm but may be dropped in later releases.

@thelonelycoder BTW I was thinking why not merge the script updates key and amtm update key together and make one key "u" to rule them all. Because right now it's kind of redundant to do one check for scripts update and one check for amtm update.

Sounds like a good idea, thanks to you amtm 2.4 release has been postponed until this is thought out, coded and tested

Oooppss!!! Sorry!! [emoji1787]

Never mind, the merging of su and u has other consequences I have to ponder over a while. It will have to wait for a later release.

No worries, take your time!!

amtm 2.4 is now available

What's new in amtm 2.4
- Adds amtm to /jffs/configs/profile.add
- Added proper device size calculation in fd for routers not having blockdev support (380.xx)
- Better check for /jffs/scripts files
- Option to create up to three partitions in fd. First or single partition is limited to ext* filesystems. Second and third partition can be formatted as ext*, FAT32, NTFS or left unformatted
- Improved step by step guidance through fd formatting with helpful context and recommendation for settings
- Summary is shown before formatting starts in fd with the option to exit out of it. This allows to do a "test run" on formatting to see what the options are

Give a thumbs up to @ColinTaylor, the thorough beta tester, giving valuable advice, code suggestions and ideas to further improve the disk functions in amtm.

Side note
My project "A better diversion.ch website and simpler to maintain for the author (that's me)" is coming along nicely but requires more time than I thought. Updates for my coding projects will resume as of now on diversion.ch.

How to update amtm
Use u to update to this latest version.

a small request (if possible), don't want to create a "Colourgate" , but the pretty colors can also be applied to the disk check logs. maybe have the "clean" with a background color.

So, logs are not coloured for a reason ... often people are viewing the logs with a pure text viewer, so the strings to activate the colours would be printed rather than the text being printed in colour. So instead of "clean" the log would show "\033[1;37mclean".

And if people are pushing the logs to a log server on a separate machine, it might not use the same sequences for colours.

 

[Ro berto]

oh you're right, the logs are text files, not part of the user interface.
