CRON Script not executing

[memphis2k]

Did a little searching but found nothing that worked.

ASUS-Merlin 384.19 running on a RT-AC68U.

Script works manually, but I can't get CRON to run it after a reboot.

ping_google.sh

#!/bin/bash
#ping google and send a REST command back to ISY.  Then ISY sends to Pushover
#Using curl because it doesn't create 0 files in directory
    ping -q -c 1 -w 5 google.com > /dev/null

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "House Online - Google"
    curl --silent --output /dev/null http://**********/rest/vars/set/2/19/0
    logger -t PX_DETECT "House Online - Google";
else
    echo "House Offline - Google"
    curl --silent --output /dev/null http://****************/rest/vars/set/2/19/1
    logger -t PX_DETECT "House Offline - Google";
fi

init-start

#!/bin/sh
cru a pinggo "* * * * * /jffs/scripts/ping_google.sh"

Running cru l

admin@RT-AC1900P-33D8:/tmp/home/root# cru l
* * * * * /jffs/scripts/ping_google.sh #pinggo#

All scripts are 755

Nothing in syslog after a reboot. I have JFFS scripts turned on Admin / System. Running VLANs & Wifi Proximity scripts with no issues, however, not as CRON.

FWIW, ran it here exactly as you described. Even the same router (RT-AC68U) and firmware (384.19). Works perfectly. I see it in the syslog every minute. I don't see any obvious mistakes.

Thanks. At least I know it works for someone. I have another AC68 I'll this on, have my scripts configured on two of these AP's. I can always see it in the syslog running it manually, never by CRON.

Are you sure you marked init-start as executable?

Do you have "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" enabled in System->Administration?

The router's firmware doesn't have /bin/bash so it will crash straight away.

Yes, see attached

True, but it runs for me regardless.

Nailed it. changed it to
#!/bin/sh

and it works.

Thanks again,
