It may be the overclocking that your router cannot handle. I never had my WRT600n overclocked (however I have since upgraded to an E3000), and OTRW2 worked just fine on it. On a side note, I did not use everything from OTRW2 (especially not mypage). Likely it is the scripts from mypage that are using 100% of your router CPU and the overclocking is what locks it up.
No the overclock is fine, the router never overheated on me even on 100% CPU utilization. It's just slow. Time to buy a new router. I will go for a good AC1900 supported router.
The clock on my Asus WL-500G Premium v2 is 240 Meg.
After a fresh install of Optware2 I'm now finding it works OK (AFAICT!).
I've got the following services running:
xinetd
usbmount
lighttpd
fixtables
stophammer
asiablock
watchprinter
stophack
backupessential
The CPU load is around 5% when idle (without the Web GUI), but hops up to 100% when stophack or stophammer do checks. (Incidentally, I've not met 'htop' before - it's a big improvement to 'vanilla top').
I'm a bit puzzled by the enabling of services. Why have two levels of enablement - 'on' and 'start'? What circumstances would require a service to be 'on', but not 'start'ed?
If the two levels are really necessary, why not have different highlighting for each, so you can see if a service is 'on', but not 'start'ed?
the services command parses S** scripts in /opt/etc/init.d/
only scripts with the "NAME" variable in it are shown in the output.
If a script if "off" the it has no executable state "-x"
the "service ***" on makes the scripts executable.
The start command is required to actually run the scripts.
It would be possible to show different states when service command is issued, but it would take too much time to check all services.
As you have seen the only the service command take quite some time
Since its also not common to active deactivate services all the time I won't change it.
If a script if "off" the it has no executable state "-x"
the "service ***" on makes the scripts executable.
The start command is required to actually run the scripts.
Thanks for the reply 'basmaf'.
I'm still not sure why you would want to go to the bother of making a script executable, and yet not execute it. Just puzzled!
I'm not sure if Stophammer is working properly:
If I get GRC, or any other online port scanner to scan my ports, stophammer detects it and puts an entry in /opt/etc/iptables.hammer.rules.
If I repeat the scan, ports that are closed still respond, rather than ignore the scan and show 'stealthed'. I would expect the whole scan to be ignored ('stealthed') if the scanner IP is in iptables.hammer.rules.. Is stophammer working as it should on my router?

Well all scripts are started upon boot of the router.
When I want to start a lot of services I just gives them the on command and reboot the router.
But I got your point and will think about it.
about stophammer.
The ports are not blocked but a DROP rule is added for that specific IP in the nologdrop chain.
The thing is that all traffic which comes into the INPUT chain is routed trough the nologdrop chain.
So traffic is forwarded and then dropped.
I was not getting any download activity through the router even as I could ping yahoo.com from this router and clicking the link directly in my browser I successfully download it. (can I install directly with WSCP instead of downloading to router?)
while trying to determine the problem I discovered OTRW2
edit: first mistake was that I was combining the two lines.
now I separate them, after entering "sh /tmp/prep_optware" I get message "You need to mount /opt"
I dont know how to mount /opt yet. I just now completed my first SDcard mod. I will read more but if anyone can help me mount /opt I will be thankful. _________________ -WRT54G V2 v24-sp2 Build:12476M vpn-small + AutoAP

Good to see my legacy is still inspiring.
I haven't touched a DD-WRT router for ages, I'm now using Freetz.
How's general development doing?

hey! it's great to see you here! I often wonder where some of the most brilliant contributors to DDWRT are now.
stick around a bit!
and thanks for your work here in the past, I'm just now getting to using it. (all new to me!) _________________ -WRT54G V2 v24-sp2 Build:12476M vpn-small + AutoAP

Wow man, what rock have you been hiding under? Glad to see that you stopped back in after 3 years of your disappearing act
I believe everyone has been missing you. I'm just glad that basmaf has taken the time and effort to reverse engineer your original scripts and keep the project alive.
Hope your "new life" is treating you well _________________ Optware, the Right Way
