wan-start userscript not working

[ripdog]

So I'm trying to get my router to automatically update my IP with unotelly when a connection is established. I can't figure out why it doesn't work, though...

admin@router:/jffs/scripts# cat wan-start
#! /bin/bash
touch /tmp/000wanstarted
#sh /jffs/scripts/tunnelupdate.sh
sh unotelly.sh

admin@router:/jffs/scripts# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x    2 admin    root             0 Jun 26 00:53 .
drwxr-xr-x    5 admin    root             0 Jun 26 01:01 ..
-rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root          1299 May  1 03:58 tunnelupdate.sh
-rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root           148 May  1 19:18 unotelly.sh
-rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root            87 Jun 26 00:41 wan-start

admin@router:/jffs/scripts# ./wan-start
-sh: ./wan-start: not found

When I run

sh wan-start

It works fine. However, ./wan-start doesn't work, and the router doesn't run the script by itself. My connection is plain old DHCP over fibre, with a cloned MAC address for authentication.

try replacing the first line with:

#!/bin/sh

Oh wow, it's really obvious in retrospect. Thanks a lot, mate! Works good from command line now, should work on connection too, let's hope. Thanks again!

 

[ripdog]

Unfortunately my optimism was misplaced. All /bin/bash's were replaced with /bin/sh, and ./wan-start works now, but script still fails to fire when wan starts. I added logger lines to more easily tell when the script is run, but no luck.

Would love any additional ideas on getting this working.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue: ./wan-start updates unotelly if triggered manually, but looks like the router is not launching it when a new connection is established.

My script is pretty simple:

#!/bin/sh
wget -O- -s http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/auto_auth/hash_update/updateip.php?user_hash=xxxxxxxxxx


Thanks for any advice!

 

[ripdog]

Hey condor, could you post the output of ls -lah in /jffs/scripts? Just to make sure it's not an ownership/permissions issue.

 

[condor]

sure:

admin@Router:/jffs/scripts# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 2 admin root 0 Apr 23 00:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 admin root 0 Jan 1 1970 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 248 May 3 00:51 firewall-start
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 458 May 3 00:08 init-start
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 75 Jan 13 00:42 post-mount
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 53 Jan 13 00:42 services-start
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 43 Jan 13 00:42 services-stop
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 132 Apr 23 00:57 wan-start

Thanks!

Try;

Thanks, but as you can see the execute bit is set for all the scripts.

So are you saying that wan-start isn't running at all (no logger entries in syslog), or that it is running but not doing anything?

BTW: Don't use this in your script

sh unotelly.sh

Use this:

/jffs/scripts/unotelly.sh

It's not running at all. It works fine when i run it myself.

 

[condor]

I can confirm that is not running, unless I launch the script from the terminal by myself.

So do you see the WAN interface message in the syslog?

# grep -i wan /tmp/syslog.log
Jan  1 00:00:08 syslog: module qmi_wwan not found in modules.dep
Jan  1 00:00:08 WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.
Jan  1 00:00:12 wan-start: 0
Jan  1 00:00:13 WAN Connection: WAN was restored.

 

[condor]

here's what I have in the log:

Jan 1 01:00:08 syslog: module qmi_wwan not found in modules.dep
Jan 1 01:00:09 WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.
Jan 1 01:00:14 WAN Connection: WAN was restored.

Jan 1 01:38:42 rc_service: skip the event: restart_wan_if 0.
Jan 1 01:38:47 WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.
Jan 1 01:39:12 WAN Connection: The LAN's subnet may be the same with the WAN's subnet.
Jan 1 01:39:37 WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.
Jan 1 01:39:42 WAN Connection: WAN was restored.

thanks for the help!

Hi condor, I can't see anything obviously wrong.

Can you change your /jffs/scripts/wan-start file so that it contains only these 2 lines:

#!/bin/sh
logger -t $(basename $0) $1

Then reboot and show us the syslog like before.

 

[condor]

I did the test and looks like I was wrong, according to the log the script was run:

Jan 1 01:00:08 syslog: module qmi_wwan not found in modules.dep
Jan 1 01:00:09 WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.
Jan 1 01:00:15 WAN Connection: WAN was restored.
Jul 2 22:01:08 wan-start: 0

So there must be something wrong in the script itself. If I launch it manually, I get the following result:

admin@Router:/tmp/home/root# /jffs/scripts/wan-start
Connecting to www.unotelly.com (108.61.44.139:80)
Connecting to api.unotelly.com (64.237.43.124:80)
updateip.php?user_ha 100% |*******************************| 11 0:00:00 ETA

and the IP at unotelly website is updated successfully. If I reboot the router or the modem I see the entry in the log but the IP is NOT updated. There's only the wget in the script, nothing else, I really don't know what could be the issue

 

[john9527]

Try putting the full path to wget in the script....

/usr/bin/wget

/usr/bin/wget

And if that doesn't work try changing this

wget -O- -s http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/auto_auth/hash_update/updateip.php?user_hash=xxxxxxxxxx

to this

wget -q -s http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/auto_auth/hash_update/updateip.php?user_hash=xxxxxxxxxx

Basically, the "-O-" becomes "-q".

 

[condor]

Thanks for your patience guys, I tried both your suggestions, now my script is:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/wget -q -s http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/auto_auth/hash_update/updateip.php?user_hash=xxxxxxxxxxxxx

but still does nothing to unotelly unless it's triggered manually

 

[ColinTaylor]

Ok, for debugging purposes put this in wan-start:

#!/bin/sh
logger -t $(basename $0) "start"
wget -s http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/auto_auth/hash_update/updateip.php?user_hash=xxxxxxxxxx >/tmp/debug.txt 2>&1
logger -t $(basename $0) "end"

Reboot the router and show us the contents of a) /tmp/syslog.log and b) /tmp/debug.txt
