view dhcp leases
cat /tmp/dhcp.leases
system logs
syslogd is started on startup. You can read it with 'logread'.
logread logread -f
There are two options for where to send the logging output: (1) to a local file stored in RAM, (2) to a remote system. The local file option is very easy but because it is stored in RAM it will go away whenever the router reboots.
Enable remote logging:
nvram set log_ipaddr=<your syslogd ip> nvram commit
To run syslogd and klogd
vi /etc/inittab
add the following lines:
::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -n ::respawn:/sbin/klogd -n
Tells syslogd to write the log file to /var/log/messages
/var is linked to /tmp but we may need to create /var/log at boot time
vi /etc/init.d/rcS
add the following line:
mkdir /var/log
which computers are connected and at what signal strength
Response is in dBm's and a less negative number is better. Put this script in /bin
ipkg install wl
#!/bin/sh
for MAC in `wl assoclist | cut -d ' ' -f 2` ; do
echo -n 'Computer: ';
echo -n `cat /tmp/dhcp.leases | awk '{x=toupper($0); print x}' | grep $MAC | cut -d ' ' -f 4`;
echo -n ' IP: ';
echo -n `cat /tmp/dhcp.leases | awk '{x=toupper($0); print x}' | grep $MAC | cut -d ' ' -f 3`;
echo -n ' Signal Strength: ' ;
echo -n `wl rssi $MAC | cut -d ' ' -f 3`;
echo ' dBm'
done
better version
#!/bin/sh
for MAC in `wl assoclist | awk '{print $2}'`
do
echo -n "Computer: `grep -i ${MAC} /tmp/dhcp.leases | awk '{print $4}'`";
echo -n " IP: `grep -i ${MAC} /tmp/dhcp.leases | awk '{print $3}'`";
echo -n " Expires: `grep -i ${MAC} /tmp/dhcp.leases | awk '{print $1}' | awk '{print strftime("%x %X",$1)}'`" ;
echo -n " Signal Strength: `wl rssi $MAC | awk '{print $3}'` dBm" ;
echo " "
done
