scMerlin scMerlin - service and script control menu for AsusWRT-Merlin

[Butterfly Bones]

In the OP it shows scMerlin and it's options. It shows option 3. Internet Connection. Option 5. Web Interface (httpd)

???

Things change...

Here is what my v1.0.0 looks like.

Both "u" and "uf" yield the same menu, I see no difference, must be your beta version ahead of the proletariat?

#####################################################
Choose an option:    u
scmerlin: No new version - latest is v1.0.0
Press enter to continue...

Okay, I may need to uninstall and re-install.

@Jack Yaz, what do you think about this development?


Edit: I tried an uninstall and a re-install (curl command from the first post) and there is no difference in the menu shown for me.

It doesn't show disabled services and not-installed scripts , that's why everyone has a different menu I assume.

Samba is disabled on my router, also no Skynet for me too so here's the menu I have:

Services
(selecting an option will restart the service)

1.    DNS/DHCP Server (dnsmasq)
2.    Internet connection
3.    Web Interface (httpd)
4.    WiFi

Scripts

7.    Disable Diversion ad-blocking

 

[Butterfly Bones]

Yep, SAMBA disabled here.

FTP disabled for me.

Just checked & FTP is disabled as well

This is where I see this script most useful for me.

I neglected to update the screenshot...but yes the menu is dynamic. No point allowing a user to restart a service they don't use. Post #1 will get updated later (house move on Friday, final packing tomorrow ah!)

Which SSH App do you use on iOS?

(I use Prompt 2 and Blink, but this one looks different)

This is Shelly, I tried the others but liked this better. I recently moved to iOS from Android that I used for years, I used Juice SSH, and Shelly was most like Juice to me.

I finally thought I will try to use scMerlin to reboot the router, but when it connected normally via PuTTY, and amtm and all other scripts responded instantly, I tried connecting again via the browser/GUI. Still no go.

I then thought to use scMerlin to restart the Web Interface (httpd), option 3. and the browser instantly jumped to the login page. Success!

There is a very old and easy solution for this issue of hanging http, just SSH and enter service restart_httpd: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/u...er-starting-a-large-upload.48955/#post-432568

No need for any scripts, dont know whether it may be easier, but if you know to install the script IMO you will know these commands too.
Same for wireless: service restart_wireless

At the end its a pity that there is even a need for these scripts and asus never goes to solve it in their firmware! I often gave them feedback ... for nothing only wasted time!

JackYaz might need his own forum column for all these scripts.

@Grisu "service restart_httpd" works, thanks!

You could also add start/stop VPN to your script.

VPN Client:
service start_vpnclient1/ service stop_vpnclient1
service start_vpnclient2/ service stop_vpnclient2
service start_vpnclient3/ service stop_vpnclient3
service start_vpnclient4/ service stop_vpnclient4
service start_vpnclient5/ service stop_vpnclient5

VPN Server
service start_vpnserver1/service stop_vpnserver1
service start_vpnserver2/service stop_vpnserver2

@Grisu "service restart_httpd" works, thanks!

It does - my script just makes it more user friendly such that you dont need to remember the command
