amtm amtm - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

[thelonelycoder]

I did say it was minor, plus, I usually have 5 things going on at same time. Therefore, tend to pay more attention to things in bold/ highlight. And don't want to miss an update by going fast. Again, I did say it was minor, plus, I figured it would probably be a really easy change to make, too.

If there's no amtm update, the lower part is not shown.

Post #1 and the diversion.ch website have been updated with current info and pics.
Note that the hidden 11 amtm command (restart the UI) has been removed in the latest version.

@thelonelycoder I have updated an RT-AC66U_B1 to 484.15 Alpha 2 and amtm 3.1 FW.

It worked for a few days, but now I can't get amtm to start.

admin@RT-AC66U_B1-9058:/tmp/home/root# amtm
-sh: /jffs/scripts/amtm: not found
admin@RT-AC66U_B1-9058:/tmp/home/root# /jffs/scripts/amtm
-sh: /jffs/scripts/amtm: not found
admin@RT-AC66U_B1-9058:/tmp/home/root#

I have rebooted the router, no change. The USB drive seems healthy (router GUI says no errors).

When I tried to use the curl command to install amtm, the menu came up immediately.

There was even an update for Skynet which I did without issue.

However, exiting amtm gives the same problem as shown above.

Issuing the curl command brings up amtm again and I can see the dcl logs which do show a clean reboot happened.

The above correctly lists the scripts running on this router.

Typing Diversion, scmerlin, connmon, YazFi, etc. correctly brings up those scripts.


What further steps should I take to fix this?

In /jffs/configs/profile.add
See if you have any alias entries related to amtm, if yes then delete that entry and save the file then in terminal run "unalias amtm" after that restart the SSH session and try again.

@Asad Ali, spot on!

@Asad Ali, spot on!

I've hit the same problem after loading the 384.15 beta and can't quite follow how you fixed it. I do have a profile.add file in the /jffs/configs/ directory, and the cat command shows
alias amtm='/jffs/scripts/amtm' # added by amtm
But that's where my knowledge of ssh commands fails me. How do I delete that entry and save the file? Here's where I'm up to:

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 384.15_beta1 Fri Jan 31 23:09:42 UTC 2020
admin@RT-AC86U-6EA8:/tmp/home/root# amtm
-sh: /jffs/scripts/amtm: not found
admin@RT-AC86U-6EA8:/tmp/home/root# cd /jffs/configs/
admin@RT-AC86U-6EA8:/jffs/configs# cat /jffs/configs/profile.add
alias amtm='/jffs/scripts/amtm' # added by amtm
admin@RT-AC86U-6EA8:/jffs/configs#

EDIT: Never mind! I forgot I could use vi to edit it! Man, it's been a while since I had to get so up close and personal with the terminal

Thanks for your post and thanks @Asad Ali for the solution!

@HorseCalledHorse, you're a better person than I for knowing and using 'vi'!

I use the WinSCP program. For me, much easier to navigate around the router, simply double click on the file in question and edit away.

 

[ECHK1]

I have the same problem but don't have profile.add
how can I fix that ?
or should I create profile.add and add the alias there?

What router are you using? What firmware? From which firmware did you upgrade from? What scripts are you running? Have you rebooted the router and have the same issue?

Just run this in the terminal then:

unalias amtm

It should then find the built in amtm file when entering amtm.

unalias :: not found

 

[Asad Ali]

unalias :: not found

That means "amtm" is already unaliased. What FW version you're on currently?

Here's your issue.
Firmware amtm is only available on 384.15 Alpha 2 or above builds.

it is workin before the recent upgrade.

 

[L&LD]

@ECHK1, you need to fully update all the scripts that are showing an update (even the 'min' ones) and then update your router to RMerlin 384.15 Beta 1.

If I'm not mistaken, the amtm entry is needed in profile.add for your version of the firmware, if you want to continue to use it without upgrading now.

 

[Asad Ali]

it is workin before the recent upgrade.

The standalone amtm version was working for you before not the FW version because it's not even included in your FW build. If you don't want to upgrade your router reinstall amtm from the install one liner given in diversion.ch website and it should fix the issue.

Or just create the amtm alias again in profile.add.

AC88U 384.14-2

Run r in amtm to remove it, then run the install command from the website to reinstall amtm.
The built in amtm comes with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15 and newer.
