[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[velcrow]

@wengi and all

I have been able to get the mini_sendmail working - for all, like me, that did not know here are the commands -

printf 'Subject: The subject of the email \r\nThis is the body text of the email' |mini_sendmail -t -ftest@test.com -ssmtp.mail.com -v email@test.com

printf 'Subject: The subject of the email \r\nThis is the body text of the email'

This just creates the email, echo won't work because we need to use the "\r\n" to make a newline and return so that the Subject: and body text are separate.

-t (Im not sure why this is needed)
-f (the "from" email *note no space -f)
-s (your isps smtp server *note no space after -s)
-v (the recipient's email * note the space after -v)

Now what I would like to do is

Write a script that runs from cron that will send me an email when an event happens.

The event would be the completion of a torrent or a dropbear logon etc.

How would I do this - I am thinking that the script should check the syslog.log ever hour and extract the log messages that are of interest and send them on .....

Can someone (wengi ) give me some help on how to get this done.

Thanks

I have transmission running using transmissioncli, but cannot get it to run correctly via the web interface. The web page comes up, but it does not trigger watchdog correctly, I think.

When I run transmission_watchdog at the telnet prompt, I get this message:

touch /.watchdog: Read-only file system

in the WEB page, I get the following when running watchdog:

touch: /.watchdog: Read-only file system BusyBox v1.1.3 (2008.03.17-18:24+0000) multi-call binary Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE... /opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog: kill: 304: Usage: kill [-s sigspec | -signum | -sigspec] [pid | job]... or kill -l [exitstatus] transmissiond: option requires an argument -- i Usage: transmissiond [options] active-torrents.txt [options] Options: -h, --help Print this help and exit -v, --verbose Verbose level implies foreground (0 to 2, default = 0) -p, --port Port we should listen on (default = 51413) -u, --upload Maximum upload rate (-1 = no limit, default = 20) -d, --download Maximum download rate (-1 = no limit, default = -1) -f, --finish Command you wish to run on completion -n --nat-traversal Attempt NAT traversal using NAT-PMP or UPnP IGD -w, --watchdog Watchdog interval in seconds (default = 600) -i, --pidfile PID file path -e, --encryption Turns on encryption as preferred Signals: HUP reload active-torrents.txt and start/stop torrents USR1 write .status files into torrent directories USR2 list active torrents rm: cannot remove `/.watchdog': No such file or directory

Any ideas what I did wrong? Is there somewhere that I need to configure where the .watchdog file is located?

I am using 1.22-3 version of transmission.

[blueman2]

Well, I gave up on this, and downloaded the most recent version of Transmision (1.4) which integrates the web interface. It works perfectly! Just install via "ipkg install transmission", the launch with "transmission-daemon -w /path to where you want files"

[wengi]

Hi,

i have been away for some time.
It seems that transmissiond does not exist any longer!?!
I will figure this out when i have time for it...

EDIT: Howto will be updated in december.

Why doesn't part3 mount correctly?

All right, this should be so
/tmp/harddisk link to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3

[lapcat]

I get an error message:

[admin@ASUS root]$ /tmp/harddisk link to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3
-sh: /tmp/harddisk: Permission denied

[userouter]

I get an error message:

[admin@ASUS root]$ /tmp/harddisk link to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3
-sh: /tmp/harddisk: Permission denied

it does not need to enter )

Important: The data partition is mounted to /tmp/hardisk as in fstab. This is handled different in the firmware because of compatibility issues: The Partition is mounted to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3 and a symlink is pointing from /tmp/hardisk to /tmp/mnt/disc0_3

[lapcat]

I did all the stepts before...

[admin@ASUS root]$ cat /etc/fstab
#device                 Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/discs/disc0/part1  none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/discs/disc0/part2  /opt            ext3    rw,noatime      1       1
/dev/discs/disc0/part3  /tmp/harddisk   ext3    rw,noatime      1       1

but the partition isn't mounted. And i can't mount it even if i try it manualy.

After my first installation of Oleg's FW I need some help with Transmission...

When I enter command:

transmission_watchdog

as it is explained in the manual, I get:

-sh: transmission_watchdog: not found

When I enter command:

ps axf

I get:

Please, what should I do to make it working?
I changed the FW just for the Torrents

@ trymyluck

remove transmissiond ( the one you are using ) and install transmission instead.

the 1.4 version is stable using clutch

Thank you for the information.

Please, consider me a beginner, what version should I install and where I can find it? Do I have to make any special settings after installing the older version, or what I did according to the manual will enough?

Another question I have, what is clutch in software terms?

Hi,

I used a guide here: http://wlhdd.co.uk/wiki/Adding_Users for adding users, but my share access doesn't work if I want to disable shell for this user. telnet says:

WL500W login: share
Password:
login: cannot run /sbin/nologin: No such file or directory 

what's wrong?

[trymyluck]

Hi all,
I know that being a newbie is annoying, but everyone of you was a newbie before turning into an expert :-)
So, could you please help me with the Transmission?
I need to install Transmission on my router. I'm using Oleg's FW 1.9.2.7-10, which I installed according to this manual.
During the installation everything went great till Transmission installation, then I found out that the manual doesn't correspond with the latest version, that is on Oleg's repository.

What should I do to get it working?

I'm not able to find any older version, that would work according to this manual.

One more question, is there anybody using TorrentFlux? It looks really nice.
