WiFi Schedule bypass bug

Hey there, I have just accidentally discovered a way to bypass the WiFi schedule plugin.

It seems that when you have a WiFi scheduled to shutdown at certain times. all you need to do to turn on the WiFi is to reboot the router. Either through the router system tab or physically unplug the router to restart it.

Wondering if the system can check the WiFi schedule and run the plugin accordingly to the current time.

There would need to be an init.d script running, at which point you would probably jus rewrite the entire plugin to use it.

Also I think the way it currently behaves is a good failsafe just in case :)

You could have a go at rewriting it yourself if you were interested?

I wish I had the aptitude to write scripts. I would definitely give it a go. Alas, I am not that gifted.

I just report what I find... :D
