I must have missed something, I see the log file was being generated but the actually filer files where never updated.
I'll just run it manually for now until I figure out what I am doing wrong.
Looking at your image, was this created via cron job? or did you manually run the script?. Because it looks like it updated your filter files correctly. Mine is the same.
does transparent mode need to be enabled? using Kong PDB on my R7000 and although I have no issues with the script, when I enable transparent mode it messes up my firewall rules for the guest network i.e guest can get to the webui of router.
Can someone please Share a packed (.zip/.rar) ready to copy to Router version of the privoxy-blocklist.sh (from github) or submit it to me?
Everytime i try to Download the privoxy-blocklist.sh from Github, it changes it Format and i cant run it on my Router, because i get syntax errors.
Even the use of Textmate doesnt help:(
Please can someone pack and post it?
That would really help me:)
Hello All,
I need serious help, I running privoxy with custom Adplus filter. My problem is I want my filters to update daily via cron automatically; I set everything up as shown in the picture below.
I have also post a copy of the script that works fabulously manually.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Created for adblock, to update and log activity when script has started and ended.
# Don't forget to chmod +rw
# wait for a bit (5 seconds)... depending on your router you can make this longer or shorter
sleep 5
# change path to suit your installation
path="/jffs/privoxy-blocklist.sh"
# launch the script
# add a empty line in log
echo >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log
echo "Adblock Started - "$(date) >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log 2>&1
sh /jffs/privoxy-blocklist.sh
echo "Adblock Finished - "$(date) >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log 2>&1
echo "----------------------------" >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log 2>&1
exit
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Description:
current location of my script courtesy of Rocky13. Script works well when I run it manually from Putty. I can manually update all my filters, and print a log once its finish.
Rocky see error in bold, so people like me don't run into issues in the future. BTW this worked perfectly, don't care for logs as I can see the date and time change since others are having issues.

Hello.... Question
Is there anyway to run the "sh jffs/etc/privoxy-blocking.sh" script bi-weekly or weekly automatically?? Currently I'm doing this manually to update the filters.
Will love to automate this process if possible.
Thx in advance.
You can do the following.
Under Administration > Management > look under Cron. Make sure it's enabled then under it enter e.g.

you are missing a * there should be 3 in the crontab "24 21 * * * root sh". LMK if it works and I will add logs to mine as well

Do you want to update (y/n) [default=n]:
let see if this will resolve my issue.

Still no luck. Beside cron is there any other way I can run this script automatically ? _________________ Netgear R7000

Did you set execution rights to your sh file?. chmod +rw filename, or you can do it in scp. With or without the sh in cron still should work as it does for me. Also when you create a cron entry you must trigger it by entering in CLI. stopservice cron && startservice cron
I want to say thank you to all who have helped me troubleshoot. After making the changes suggest by @jebise101, and insight by @rocky13. I was successful with getting my script to run via cron.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Created for adblock, to update and log activity when script has started and ended.
# Don't forget to chmod +rw
# wait for a bit (5 seconds)... depending on your router you can make this longer or shorter
sleep 5
# change path to suit your installation
#thanks to jebise101 for the correction
path="/jffs/etc/privoxy"
# launch the script
# add a empty line in log
echo >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log
echo "Adblock Started - "$(date) >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log 2>&1
sh /jffs/privoxy-blocklist.sh
echo "Adblock Finished - "$(date) >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log 2>&1
echo "----------------------------" >> /jffs/adblock/log/run.log 2>&1
exit
Only one issue but its not that serious. the log is printing incorrect time.
Code:
Adblock Started - Mon Mar 2 06:15:05 GMT 2015
Adblock Finished - Mon Mar 2 06:15:57 GMT 2015
the time is set correctly on the router, with GMT -5 for my timezone(NYC).
Router: current firmware: Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (02/26/15) kongac
Time: reflecting the correct time.
Thanks again to all for the wealth of knowledge. _________________ Netgear R7000

Noticed that to, did you reboot? Think the script ran before the router got the correct time at least that's what I think happened. Didn't get a chance to check my logs this morning, run mine at 5AM.
Do you notice the Internet stops working while the script is updating, it only last about 30 seconds which is why I run it in the morning.
I have rebooted several times, the log time is off by 5 hours. No big deal if It continues I will just disable to log.
