schedule tasks (cron jobs)

[bplotkin]

I saw some possibilities to schedule tasks with other firmware, it would be great to be able to schedule a backup (need samba?) and reboot daily or weekly etc.

let me know how i can help with this feature.

I've been thinking about implementing an auto-reboot, though it doesn't have particularly high priority. Before I could do a remote backup, I'd need a new remote file system page, which has a fairly low priority.

Of course if you want to implement either I'd be happy to accept your contribution to the project. You can download the latest code from the SVN by following the instructions on the download page. If you have specific questions about the code, just ask...

That sounds cool!
I will do that when some of my time frees up...

Just out of curiosity; what has higher priority? do you have a list?
curious to see what new features are coming up

anyway, I am defiantly looking forward to start learning how it all works with the router (I do have Linux knowledge as far as red hat and scripting goes)

Cheers

Things tend to change priority based on my current assessment of what people want... but right now I'm working on:

1) Figuring out why ap+client mode and repeater mode isn't working on broadcom wireless devices. There's a mac address mismatch causing it, but I've been banging my head against the wall for the past week and a half figuring out how to correct it.

2) Working on implementing quotas for multiple ips and for multiple non-overlapping times on one IP. Implementing this on the backend was easy (that part's done), but it turns out the front end validation (making sure ranges don't overlap) takes a bit of tricky code.

Right on Eric, your doing a great job and I want to thank you for this awesome firmware and support!
