Hi folks,

I've got a wan-event script that pushes to pushover, but it won't execute a curl to get my 'real ip' - am I missing something? The script runs OK on reboot, just don't get the output. If I put the environment variable wan_fake_ip, that prints OK; but can't get it to push wan_from_curl nor wan_real_ip into the script.

#!/bin/sh export wan_from_curl="$(curl -fs4 http://ipconfig.io/)" export wan_real_ip="$(nvram get wan0_realip_ip)" export wan_fake_ip="85.63.35.192" asusadmin@RT-AX88U-8FD0:/jffs/scripts# cat wan-event #!/bin/sh . /jffs/scripts/pushover_creds.sh . /jffs/scripts/get_wan.sh push_message(){ echo "Pushover Init" curl -s \ --form-string "token=$pushover_token"\ --form-string "user=$pushover_user"\ --form-string "message=WAN Reconnect Successful at $wan_real_ip"\ https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json } if [ "$2" = "connected" ]; then push_message else echo $wan_real_ip fi
 
I believe that after a wan-event is triggered it doesn't mean that you already have wan access. Sometimes it takes a few seconds (or longer?) to actually have a working connection again. So immediately executing commands that rely on connectivity are probably not going to work. Try building in a delay, or use a cron to execute the script a minute or 2 after the wan-event happened.
 
Yes, I would say you want to evaluate the two arguments passed and wait for $1 =0 and $2 = "connected"
Here is a log extract that shows a WAN event sequence - there can be several loops thru the process before you get connected.

Cheers both - it's more that I cannot pass real_wan_ip into the script. I don't understand why Merlin keeps using wan_ip (which may not be correct) rather than real_wan_ip in places (like the UI)
 
Try backtics ` (to the left of the 1 key)

export wan_real_ip="$(nvram get wan0_realip_ip)"
export wan_real_ip=`"$(nvram get wan0_realip_ip)"`
or maybe
export wan_real_ip=`$(nvram get wan0_realip_ip)`

NOT the single quote!!!
