Introduction

The main advantage to expand the DD-WRT web interface with your own scripts is the ability to quickly see what happens with your router without opening an ssh or telnet shell and thinking around which command must be executed to see some useful results.

Many of us that use DD-WRT have small or no linux skill, so it is great to have the most useful linux command executed inside a web page, just klick a tab and this day is your friend.

This is possible by using the NVRAM variable mypage_scripts. Usually this variable is empty and normally you don't care about it. In this case you must set this variable to be able to see the scripts inside the web interface.

Please read carefully the next sections to understand what are the prerequisite needed and how to install and configure this pages.

Prerequisite

Look at the syntax of some useful linux commands. (See Useful Scripts)

Look how to use telnet or ssh to gain access to the command shell. (See Telnet/SSH)

Look how to setup the variable using nvram. (See Hardware)

Requirements

The scheme of mypage_scripts is:

mypage_scripts="</storage/www/page[1]> </storage/www/page[2]> ... </storage/www/page[n-1]> </storage/www/page[n]>"

Exchange storage with your underlying filesystem /jffs, /mmc, /mnt, ...

Currently there are seven scripts names MyPage1.asp, ..., MyPage7.asp.

MyPage1.asp is named Main.
This script displays different information about your device like device name, firmware, kernel version, memory, running processes, CPU and loaded drivers.

MyPage2.asp is named WLAN.
This script displays some wireless info like driver core, interface, status, version and capabilities.

MyPage3.asp is named Storage.
This script displays all information about the partition/disk in use like internal/external disks and flash.

MyPage4.asp is named Network.
This script displays network related stuff like open ports, interfaces, routing table, arp table and domain name server

MyPage5.asp is named Kernel.
This scripts shows all the kernel messages emitted during the booting time of your device.

MyPage6.asp is named NVRAM.
This scripts shows all the variables stored inside the NVRAM space.

MyPage7.asp is named OPT.
This scripts shows all the installed and available software packages from OPTware.

Installation

Download the tgz file from the download section and find a useful place where to store it. In my case I store the file under /opt/www. This directory is a symlink to /jffs/opt/www.

You can choose another place, depending which filesystem you own. (SD,MMC,USB,CIFS)

Extract the file with:

tar -xvzf mypage-files-v0.8-20091223-00047.tgz

Set the executable flags with:

chmod 755 MyPage*

Root must own the files with:

chown root.root MyPage*

In your target directory there must be one logfile and seven aspfiles.

Configuration

To set the nvram variable login into your device using telnet or ssh and at the command line execute:

nvram set mypage-scripts="/jffs/opt/www/MyPage1.asp /jffs/opt/www/MyPage2.asp /jffs/opt/www/MyPage3.asp /jffs/opt/www/MyPage4.asp /jffs/opt/www/MyPage5.asp /jffs/opt/www/MyPage6.asp /jffs/opt/www/MyPage7.asp"

Don't forget to make the changes persistent with:

nvram commit
