Hello everyone
i need help with how to auto shutdown the routerboard at every day, the routerboard shutdown at 2:45 pm?
how can do that?
Thank you
/system scheduler add interval=1d name=shutdown on-event="/system shutdown" start-time=14:45:00
Shutdown requires a power cycle (removing power) to reboot. Did you mean to RESTART?
/system scheduler add interval=1d name=restart on-event="/system restart" start-time=14:45:00
This will just restart with out power cycle.
Thank you for replying
I mean when my work are Finsh per day.. i need the routerboard auto shutdown at 2:45 pm..
and the next day I’m manual power routerboard.
should i removing power cable when you told me?
else the next day when i coming to work to unplug the cable or switch power off and on
then the routerboard are on?
Since you want it to shutdown, use the first script and you can just switch power off/on the next day. However, if there is a power failure it will restart when the power is back on. If you are in an area that has lots of power failures, you may want to turn the power off before you leave.
I am wondering as to why you want to shut it down?
Use configurable power outlet that will cut the power off. Shutting router down will not switch it off.
Thank you
because at 2:45 pm my time of work was ended..
and should shutdown the routerboard and power on the other routerboard.
if i used the script to auto shutdown the routerboard not shutdown?
I think the shutdown command will cause the Mikrotik to unmount resources so it’s in a safe state to unplug the power. You could buy an electrical timer. Shutdown at 2:45, timer cuts power at 2:46, then the timer turns power back on at start of work day. Then the Mikrotik will also boot up.
Thank you for replying
Mikrotik devices are safe to loose power in normal operation mode. No need to shut down the system before the power outage. Just make sure the power remains on when upgrade is performed,nothing more.
3 times in the last 5 years a Mikrotik had issues after power outage for me.
First time the static WAN IP was missing. Route was still there. Adding the WAN IP fixed it.
Second time I guided a user through restoring the config from backup via Winbox, so I don’t know what went wrong.
Third time the vacuum guy tripped the breaker. Upon power up, all routes were missing including default routes. A subsequent reboot didn’t fix it, and routes could not be added. A restore of config fixed this issue too.
I’d consider these 3 issues as rare occurrences given the amount of times they’ve been power cycled.
