Oh....one thing to note, I did the update to the 2.2.4 and didn't reboot the router, just went to the web page, and it was trying to display the addons, but not actually doing it. I reboot, and from the reboot on it's not listing anything about the addons.
 
Make sure to clear caches in browser.

The service event calls should dynamically generate and update the files for addons and cron. If they appear in the CLI they should appear in WebUI.

Process log I've realised might not work after a reboot, try running /jffs/addons/scmerlin.d/S99tailtop start

And check the WebUI again

Thanks. My previous test was done with fresh browsers (Firefox & Chrome) private and normal tabs, after fresh Laptop SO install. Tried CTRL+F5 too.
In the meantime I did a new restart with unplug during restart. The situation in my case is the same like previous post.

Could be unbound related?

Much appreciation for your work,
Thank you!
 
Another fix just pushed, should fix process list
Got it down. In my case is working (screenshot attached). After update I did only:
/jffs/addons/scmerlin.d/S99tailtop restart

And is looking cool. Thank you so much.


Much appreciation to your work,
amplatfus

Just did the latest update, cleared cache and everything looks great. Process list came up fine despite me not running that script you suggested. Thanks Jack!
 
Early access testing can be carried out by running
Code:
scmerlin develop
While I have done some testing, I expect some issues to come out with the upgrade so please be forthcoming with bug reports!

Loaded the develop version, seems to be running fine. No issues so far.

Question, will a U (update) search in AMTM pick up an upgrade to develop version when new release version comes out, or will I need to uninstall develop and install new release?

you'll be migrated back to master/stable automagically
 
v2.3.0 is now available
Changelog:

  • NEW: Option to install an NTP boot watchdog script, which will aggressively force NTP to sync after a reboot. This is useful if you see NTP sync timeouts from Addons after 5 or 10 minutes.
  • NEW: Cron jobs can now be displayed in the CLI and WebUI
  • CHANGED: USB is no longer required for Process List, so prompt to enable USB features is no longer required
  • CHANGED: WebUI layout has been shuffled and some sections now form part of a "Router" section
  • FIXED: Process List in WebUI may fail to parse processes that have a "niceness"

the watchdog doesn't affect cron at all, it adds a hook into /jffs/scripts/init-start

Have you checked syslog for any errors regarding NTP?

I just set watchdog on again and rebooted. Now a different set of cron jobs are loaded (not all of them) I checked the log file and there was nothing with NTP in the log. So, something is interfering with other scripts loading when watchdog is on.

can you share a complete copy of syslog and a list of the cron jobs that appeared?
 
Here is the syslog, I didn't copy the cron jobs

that looks like after NTP synced and is mostly about your DNS failing to resolve when updating DDNS

Well, it doesn't boot correctly when the watchdog script is set, but if fine when it is not. I've shut it off, maybe others can comment if it is working OK for them.
 
NEW: Option to install an NTP boot watchdog script

Hi @Jack Yaz, just wanted advice on how to upgrade to this version if I already have your "old" ntpbootwatchdog.sh running via init-start?

Edit: Think I answered my own question - I went ahead and played around, looks like what you've added to scMerlin is identical to the old "manual" ntpwatchdog script anyway, so I'm up and running on v2.3.0, thanks!

v2.3.0 is now available
Changelog:

  • NEW: Option to install an NTP boot watchdog script, which will aggressively force NTP to sync after a reboot. This is useful if you see NTP sync timeouts from Addons after 5 or 10 minutes.
  • NEW: Cron jobs can now be displayed in the CLI and WebUI
  • CHANGED: USB is no longer required for Process List, so prompt to enable USB features is no longer required
  • CHANGED: WebUI layout has been shuffled and some sections now form part of a "Router" section
  • FIXED: Process List in WebUI may fail to parse processes that have a "niceness"
Jack- you have done it again... :cool::cool::cool::cool::):D
