Help to build a script to scedule reboot to router

plopes1960 · Tue Jun 28, 2016 11:19 am

I would like your much aprreciated help.

I have a ISP router (gateway) that doesen't have a schedule reboot on the web interface. I have a raspbian and I would like to schedule on crontab to reboot this router. I have google it and I need your help to do it with Elinks... Cause I don't have a clue...

Follow what I need to do, in order to reboot from a browser:

1 - open a browser and introduce the address remoterouter2016.dyndns.org or 192.168.1.1
(introduce username and password) than click apply
2 - remoterouter2016.dyndns.org/RgSetup.asp or 192.168.1.1/RgSetup.asp and click reboot
3 - after click reboot, pop up and ask if we really want or not, I need to click ok

The "big" problem is that this router/gateway is build with webinterface as asp (active server page) and for that, dosen't give me the proper link to reboot...

HI.

I don't know how to write a script to do this but another option might be to use the pi to disconnect the power from the router for a few seconds that would preform the same function.
It might also be easier to set up to as you only need to get the pi to switch a relay which you could do with a simple python program which you can call with cron.

I aprecciate your answer, but it's not what I'm looking for

I would like something wiht wget, curl or Elinks

You could check out a tool called "xdotool" which you could use from a script to manipulate the browser, simulate mouse clicks even.
The trick would be to open the browser at a known location and size so you can predict location of the button you want to press.

If you want to only use "curl" and such you have to look at the source for the page and figure out what happens when you press the reboot button.

Does the router support ssh or even just telnet? If it supports this, you may find the router is just a read only linux that you can then directly run reboot on once you've logged in with your script.

You can then log in using an expect script or something ssh or if it is telnet and you just want to reboot:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
{
        sleep 2s
        echo myUser
        sleep 2s
        echo myPassword
        sleep 2s
        echo sh
        sleep 5s
        echo ls
        echo reboot now
        sleep 2s
} | telnet myRouter

Exactly what you should do and can do will depend on your router.

This router is a official router from ISP and don't accept Telnet or ssh connections.

Python Selenium

plopes1960 · Wed Jun 29, 2016 8:55 pm

I'm running raspbian Jessie on rpi 2.

I have manage more or less to build a python file under selenium ide on Firefox browser.

What I need to install on raspbian Jessie in order to run this Python file?

SonOfAMotherlessGoat · Wed Jun 29, 2016 9:17 pm

Well, since you are running the Full Raspbian Jessie with a desktop environment, the answer to "What needs to be installed" is, probably not much.

Can you post the python scrip that you have created, with the import lines, and if you'd like you can redact the username and password used to log in to the web interface of the router. Don't worry about redacting RFC 1918 addresses, they aren't routable and aren't a security concern.

You should have most of the hard work done. Now it's just getting the browser to render and then to figure out what kind of schedule you need to fire the script on.

Perhaps you could try with lynx. It has a recording mode, and a playback mode.
If your web interface is not too incompatible...

Any help please?!??

Running Python Selenium on a raspbian?

DougieLawson · Sun Jul 03, 2016 10:21 am

I think we'd need more details of your router to be able to help you.

Have you thought about switching a relay with a GPIO and using that relay to cut/restore power to your router? Also have you thought about ditching selenium and using beautiful soup 4 to parse the HTML emitted from your router. BS4 is more commonly used and therefore better supported.
