UPDATE: Flash Wearing!!

I've foolishly run the checkwakeup.sh script from the /jffs flash memory. This might (I'm not an expert on these matters) eventually burn out your flash memory on your device (although I hope it dosen't do this quickly as I've been running this for over a month from this directory and I don't want to toast my new $80 router!!).

All I've changed is the location the CRON job runs it from, so that it reads like this:
Code:
*/1 * * * * root /tmp/checkwakeup.sh
and created a startup script to copy the checkwakeup.sh script to RAM when the router boots so that it can be run from here. Just add this line to the start of the startup scripts (even if you have the mythwebwelcome page):
Code:
cp /jffs/checkwakeup.sh /tmp/checkwakeup.sh


Sorry about this oversight but I completely forgot about the potential problems of running stuff from a flash drive. If anyone has any technical knowledge on flash etc. that they can post to put my worries aside then that would be great thanks.

Awesome!

I already had tomato flashed on my router, so I tried it on that.

A couple of minor differences:
  1. There is no option for "Clean JFFS." Don't worry about it.
  2. SSH Daemon is under "Admin Access"
  3. Tomato uses ether-wake instead of wol, so the relevant line in checkwakeup.sh should be:
    Code:
    /usr/bin/ether-wake <MAC ADDRESS>
  4. There is no way to set the cron via the router's website in tomato. Instead, from the command line run:
    Code:
    cru a CheckMythWake "*/1 * * * *  /tmp/checkwakeup.sh"


That should do it!

Glad it worked for you gazer!

Thank you for posting the differences for the Tomato firmware: it's great to have some user feedback and tips for those who might be using different firmwares! I hope you don't mind but I've added them to the Knoppmythwiki page on this.
