Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2020 2:00 Post subject: cron simply not working...
Subject line says it all.
Running on build 41586 (11/21/19) on a wrt1900acsv2
Got onto this track while trying to install YaMon v4.
Have added a simple test to the crontab.
Have verified that the script works, and that permissions are set as permissively as possible.
The cron entry is:
/1 * * * * root /tmp/mnt/sda1/test
have also tried:
1-59/1 * * * * root /tmp/mnt/sda1/test
Have tried running the script from both /tmp/mnt/sda1 (a thumb drive) and /tmp.
The script is never invoked. Have done stopservice and startservice many many times. Have manually invoked /usr/sbin/cron. Nada.
I've read several old threads on the subject, but they appear to be out of date.
I would really rather not upgrade to another version, simply because it was a long game of wack-a-mole to get to a tolerable set of bugs with this version.
I noticed in another thread some mention regarding problems relating to the way DHCP was initializing some table..., some sort of race condition involved maybe..., that caused leases to expire in an unexpected way that resulted in 2.4Ghz connection problems for Android devices.
Apologies if I misconstrued what was being talked about..., but one of the issues I've had with recent versions of dd-wrt relates to problems connecting at 2.4Ghz with Pixel phones (perhaps others).
Do you know if this was broadly impacting recent Android devices at 2.4Ghz?
I'm just trying to judge the likelihood of getting both cron AND wi-fi completely working at the same time.
The range of 2.4Ghz is important for me since I live on a farm with lousy mobile service..., so wi-fi is generally my best option when working within reasonable distance of the house.
