connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

[thelonelycoder]

Hmmmm, shows in my syslog (until I get it filtered with Scribe syslog-ng that is).

As @Jack Yaz stated elsewhere, the generation of the report takes about 30 seconds. During that time, I assume, the lock file is present. Be patient, not everything is instant these days.

 

[Jack Yaz]

Regarding lock file, I'll make it menu friendly like i did for YazFi so that at least you aren't kicked out of the script (currently it throws "exit 1").

As @thelonelycoder says, the lock file will pop up for 30s every 5 minutes. I can look into making that period adjustable - i decided on 30s as sufficient to gather a good number of pings to calculate average etc.

Why not run the task in a subshell or send it to background? And then just warn users that any changes will take effect at next run when lockfile is present? It may not work for your script but worth a try.

The core concern was overlapping test runs, which will produce possibly incorrect data. I can remove the locking from functions that won't cause this though

I installed connmon, and per the instructions in post #1, tried to run it ONCE.

What I posted repeated on its own with no interaction by me. I can read and understand very well. I AM old and very patient. I posted that snippet to help inform others.

I just had to add my 2¢.

I probably trigger a test after update/install. With the menu aware lock check, and perhaps a more friendly message (e.g. Test running), things should be clearer

My router does not have /www/AdaptiveQoS_ROG.asp.

I am assuming that it was chosen as an already existing but unused file which is now being made useful. I could not find any information about creating a file in the root filesystem which gets mounted read only.

Which router do you use again?

Which router do you use again?

RT-AX88U

 

[Jack Yaz]

RT-AX88U

Would you be able to send me a list of asp pages from www?

 

[owine]

I am getting a ton of "stale lock file" entries in my syslog with this running.

Now all we need to do is find an unused page

 

[Jack Yaz]

I am getting a ton of "stale lock file" entries in my syslog with this running.

Any preceding lines in syslog?

 

[RMerlin]

Now all we need to do is find an unused page

Why not add your own custom pages instead? Copy them to /www/user/ on boot.

http://router.asus.com/user/mypage.html

 

[owine]

Any preceding lines in syslog?

Nope, just these every 10 minutes:

Apr 18 13:30:00 connmon: Stale lock file found (>120 seconds old) - purging lock

http://router.asus.com/user/mypage.html

The corresponding .js files and css used by the router all use relative paths (which is only an issue if I want the pages to look like the rest of the UI)

Can you check

for me please?
