Graceful Shutdown

[Aster5]

Hello, can I ask how you guys can gracefully shutdown your asus router? I can create a script to stop the optware services and unmount the drives but my problem is that I have to ssh to the router everytime to do that. Is there any way to maybe possibly insert/edit the main interface of asus merlin FW so I can just push a button to start the script?

Add your script to the services-stop script in /jffs/scripts

Yeah but that only applies to a boot/reboot.

What I'm trying to do is a graceful shutdown of the router (stop services + unmount) and not going through ssh/telnet every time to do that.

I think there's no way around it than just install lighttpd and run the script from there...

# cat /jffs/scripts/services-stop
#!/bin/sh

logger -t $(basename $0) "started [$@]"

/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung stop

Firmware will unmount any partitions before reboot, no need to do it manually.

Try -m option in Putty's command line.
You can make a proper .lnk file to execute Putty, to connect to your router and to execute a script there.
See Putty's help.

It will be something like:

"C:\Tools\SSH\Putty\putty.exe" -ssh -P 5555 [email]admin@bla-bla.noip.me[/email] -i router.ppk -m myscript.txt

Here we assume myscript.txt and router.ppk to be in C:\Tools\SSH\Putty\ of course.

Thanks for that bbsc

I have problems like this one even on reboots:
