Hello,
My ISP requires a web login after every few hours of inactivity. Is there a way to automate this in dd-wrt?

The lgin page autmomatically opens whenever I try to access the internet after a few hours.

I tried the keep alive options but they didnt help.

Thanks.

There's nothing in dd-wrt to do this. You should look into using a macro program like autohotkey that can be scripted to do this even if you're afk while downloading things.

Couldn't you just use a cron job to wget a file to /dev/null every 30 minutes or so. I also like autohotkey, don't let the name fool you as it does much much more than hotkeys.

Ok something like create a file in /tmp named keepalive, do a "chmod +x /tmp/keepalive" and in the file put:

[autobot]

For the file you could use something from sourceforge as they have auto mirrors, so it should look legitimate to your ISP.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but do I do this through telnet or is there some software I can use?

Also, how do I get it to enter username/password and then submit it?

Someone has made a script for Linux systems for the same ISP that looks like:
curl -d "username=username@domainname&password=passwor d" https://loginban.tataindicombroadband.in:8443/home

Appreciate your time on this.

The login page only appears after you have been inactive for a while? Or does it appear every so often even while active?

[msb1]

It appears to disconnect randomly. Last night I had a few torrents downloading and this morning there was no activity and none were finished. I tried opening google and the login page popped up.

If I can get teh router to check every 30-40 mins and login when the page shows, I think the problem would be solved.

[autobot]

Then it appears you need to do whatever you found out with the curl method, my method would only work if activity prevented the disconnect.

I found this Automatic Connection Repair script under 'Useful Scripts'
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Useful_Scripts#Automatic_Connection_Repair_.28always_on.sh.29

Can this be modified for my purpose?

I cant use the Curl method as I'm on windows.

[autobot]

That wouldn't work for you, here is a link for win32 curl.

Thank you.
