amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

[thelonelycoder]

For me, the installation command does nothing.

# curl -Os https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decoderman/amtm/master/amtm && sh amtm
#

How could it and where did you get that line?
The # out-comments it. Remove the #.

This is very cool thank you for doing this.

Skynet has peeked my interest and wouldn't mind using this for the install. However i'm not sure of the benefits of Skynet I should post in the skynet thread don't want to derail.

I'm doing nothing else but run the scripts maintainers exact install command.
amtm saves you to paste or remember these.

Let me say IMHO this set of scripts is the best! You won't find a better supported solution.

By # I meant I ran it as root. Here is the full version,

admin@RT-AC68U-DF28:/tmp/home/root# curl -Os https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decoderman/amtm/master/amtm && sh amtm
admin@RT-AC68U-DF28:/tmp/home/root#

In the terminal, enter

cd /opt/bin

then

ls

About 10 binaries should be listed. One of them called ab-solution.

I get below

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC5300 380.68-4 Wed Oct 4 19:03:28 UTC 2017
admin@RT-AC5300-7380:/tmp/home/root# cd /opt/bin
admin@RT-AC5300-7380:/tmp/mnt/AB-Solution/entware/bin# ls
ab-solution firewall localedef.new pixelserv-tls xargs
find locale.new opkg pixelserv-tls.backup
admin@RT-AC5300-7380:/tmp/mnt/AB-Solution/entware/bin#

 

[Raphie]

Also, if you start AB-Solution and enter s, what is the first start option listed?

Thank you to all contributors, in whichever form
 you did.

 ---------------------------------------------------

 How to start AB-Solution:

 Start AB-Solution from anywhere with:
 ab-solution

 Alternative ways to start:

 When in /home/root, start AB-Solution with:
 ./ab-solution.sh  or
 sh ab-solution.sh
 Outside the home dir, start AB-Solution with:
 sh /tmp/mnt/AB-Solution/ab-solution.sh

 ---------------------------------------------------

 Hit [Enter] to return to Menu

 

[Raphie]

One more check. Copy and paste this whole line into the terminal, then hit enter.
The return should say foundit:

[ -d "/opt/bin" ] && echo foundit || echo notfound

Correct, it returns foundit

 

[thelonelycoder]

Correct, it returns foundit

That's the check I do, so it should work. And AB-Solution found it true as well.
As a test, select r remove in amtm and remove it.
Then enter this in your terminal:

cd

which brings you to the home directory.
Then copy/paste the amtm install command and install it again.

nope, no joy, starts via jffs/scripts but not directly. seems that symlink or how you call it doesn't work on my system
this is what I see in root

admin@RT-AC5300-7380:/tmp/home/root# l
-rw-rw-rw- 1 admin root 2769 Nov 28 08:40 .ash_history
drwx------ 2 admin root 60 Aug 1 2015 .ssh/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 35 Aug 1 2015 ab-solution.sh -> /tmp/mnt/AB-Solution/ab-solution.sh*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 admin root 10247 Nov 28 08:38 amtm
admin@RT-AC5300-7380:/tmp/home/root#

when i cd in land in /tmp/home/root, nothing wrong with amtm, but it's something in my config.

You figure it out. Make sure you start amtm with

/jffs/scripts/amtm

or else the link in /opt/bin will not be created if your system suddenly and reluctantly accepts a link in it

The file in /home/root is the temporary download location while installing. It will not survive a reboot, which is intended.

 

[Raphie]

no worries, just added the full path to my putty shortcut, will dive into this next time i need to clean jffs with a major firmware update

By # I meant I ran it as root. Here is the full version,

admin@RT-AC68U-DF28:/tmp/home/root# curl -Os https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decoderman/amtm/master/amtm && sh amtm
admin@RT-AC68U-DF28:/tmp/home/root#

That's a simple curl command and ought to work, same as with Skynet install.
Try this, cd'ing first to the home dir, calling curl directly from its location, trying to download 3 times if it fails:

cd;/usr/sbin/curl --retry 3 -Os https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decoderman/amtm/master/amtm && sh amtm

This worked. It seems the by default curl is used from,

admin@RT-AC68U-DF28:/tmp/home/root# which curl
/opt/bin/curl

Which does not work.

@thelonelycoder - I have a small suggestion. In keeping with ab-solution and Skynet, It would be nice to have a little colour. As time permits, of course.

This has been on the back of my mind too.
But I don't use a config file in amtm and I'd like users to have a choice.

And that is what I have here in a local version, the selected color theme in AB-Solution.
I was just waiting for a request for it before implementing it.

If AB-Solution is not installed, then no-colors, else, guess what?

 

[Raphie]

Genius!

 

[Raphie]

Can I make a menu structure suggestion?
Separate the install scripts from the run scripts?

Would kvic's NTP-deamon still be an option for this menu?

That folder called "NTP Daemon installer" I have here has not seen any action since June 22 this year.
Completion of it is a long way away, I have other projects going that are more important.
