Run custom script on official ASUS firmware

[AsusNoobie]

Hello. How can I run my script (my.sh) on the official ASUS firmware? What I have tried.

1) add to /etc/init.d/ - but its mount locked READ ONLY.
2) try run from ssh with NOHUP + & , but script stop then close ssh session.
3) try add to /jffs/.asusrouter , but in the latest updates, this feature has been disabled.
4) after searching, I found methods to add a script to the "USB connection" event, but I don't have a USB port on my router, so those options are not available to me.
5) i found method add scripts to /jffs/scripts/myscript.sh , i havent folder scripts, added, place script and nothing happing, i thing in the latest updates, this feature has been disabled.

Stock firmware doesn't support custom scripts. There is a workaround that may work but it relies on your router having a USB port.

If you're comfortable with ssh and a text editor of your choice, you can follow this guide:

I have verified it on my GT-AXE16000 AiMesh node running the latest available stock firmware in order to launch a script following boot (and verify on periodic basis using cron) to modify the 6 GHz SSID to match my primary network.

That's the same thing I linked to in my previous post. As I noted though it requires a router with a USB port which the OP doesn't have.

Oops! I missed that detail.

Thinking further, I'm not sure why it requires a USB port.

It works by exploiting the router's Download Manager support. I'm guessing that if your router doesn't have a USB port then it also doesn't support the Download Manager hooks. Just guessing though so might be worth a try anyway.

Makes sense.

Has anyone managed to run a script from SSH in such a way that it doesn't stop when you exit SSH?

Use cru, or append " &" to end of command.

As the post above said, run the script from cron.

If you run the script from the shell as a background process (&) then you need to include this line in the script:

trap '' SIGHUP
