Ok, no worries I have an idea of what is going on.
EDIT:
I did discover that I'm currently require ddns_hostname_x in nvram to not be null but I intended to accept null if DDNS was disabled so that could be it. Also I found a bug in it grabbing OVPN Server Instances within this function which keep in mind this is new and part of this beta cycle so I appreciate you guys helping me get these worked out.
DM me the output of these commands please.

Code:
nvram get model

nvram get 3rd-party
nvram get buildno
nvram get lan_hostname
nvram get jffs2_scripts
ip -V | awk -F "-" '{print $2}'

I'll be here. I don't have notifications but I'll regularly refresh. Also I'm still waiting for another SIM, so the modem is not currently plugged in. But the dual WAN feature is still on. Does it still install the script just fine? . Worst case I can plug it in and set the ping to my modem WebGUI IP which should be reachable
Edit : When i did install the script and it hangs. I tried plugging the modem as a secondary with a valid sim installed. Doesn't change anything. I can't use my sim to the modem again because I need to temporarily use my phone sim and put it in there

v2.0.0-beta5 has been published with the following changes, you can run the update command to update to the latest beta version if you have Dev Mode enabled.
Changes from v2.0.0-beta4:
- General Optimization
- Optimization to Email Function to help prevent duplicate emails and display ISP in email notification with proper format.
- Optimization to Update Functon
- Fixes to Get System Parameters Function that were causing lock ups and CPU spikes if DDNS Hostnames or OpenVPN Servers were not in use.
- Additional debug logging added for Get System Parameters and Get WAN Functions.
- Expansion to WAN Restart Functions for all WAN States.
- Checksums will now calculate using SHA256 if possible and fallback to using MD5 if not available.
- Modifications to Status Console formulas that check if Failover is Running or is Unresponsive.

I’m not sure where your router sees the unterminated string, I can’t find it or replicate the error.

Shell check doesnt like something in restartwan0 ()

Lol thank you, I’ll clean that up, those are new additions in this beta.
Edit: I found the problem in that function, missing && between commands at the end.

Minor revision to v2.0.0-beta5 has been published to address these issues. Thanks @Maverickcdn for the finds!

Its looking good!
One comment (from my edge case ;-): If the cron job is disabled, when installing/updating, wan-failover waits quite a while for a non-existant cron job to start. Maybe check the variable and skip the wait?
I thought initate was hanging. It turns out I had set my ping times long - I switch based on speedtest. As a result, initiate uses pretty long values for -w and -W. It does complete (after a while).
Not sure you need to do anything - just an FYI.
Speaking of initiate - I have cron jobs disabled. Do you recommend I call wan-failover initiate from services-start? Do I just need to call it once?
I typically call wan-failover from a shell script when I detect my WAN0 getting too slow. wan-failover switchan
Switches to WAN1 perfectly.
I then call it later from a cron job at 2AM - which will switch it back to WAN0.

BTW, here is a short snippet that might be useful built into wan-failover.
Once in a while my DSL modem goes into Cold Standby.
Before I call wan-failover, I check to see if it is Connected (Hot Standby). If not, I reset the wan interface.
This usually fixes it.
In my case, it's just WAN1 so it's hard coded to WAN1. Easy enough to do for WAN0 as well.

logger -t switchwan "WAN1 not connected, attempt restart"
service "restart_wan_if 1"
sleep 30

I haven't used this script fully yet since I'm still waiting for my SIM card to come in the mail.
But, shouldn't the script force the second WAN to always be active (hot standby)? Since it automatically does the ping periodically for both WAN interfaces?

It does, it checks state at start up.

Not gonna lie. I still don't understand the point of cold standby. It takes so much longer for Asus to do a failover when it's on cold standby.

Double check you guys are currently up to date if you are running v2.0.0-beta5, I had a commit that somehow didn’t apply and I corrected this early this morning.
