The run-counts are 0 and 1. What is the output of “/system clock print”?

[ahmed@MikroTik] > /system clock print

Still waiting any post helpout in this issue …

IMHO in your scripts source should be:

source=/queue tree enable day; /queue tree disable night

In both scripts you didn’t type initial ‘/’

HTH,

7

Now the script and the scedular working but its not disable or enable the Day / night queue Tree

8

Queue names are not inside quotation marks, try this:

source=/queue tree enable "day"; /queue tree disable "night"

HTH,

ditonet , thanks for your effort but still the qeueue tree not take the changes , i see the run count in both script and scedular working fine but its not reflected to the qeueue tree .

Try to run this command

/queue tree enable "day"

from terminal and observe what happens with this queue.

Hi

its accept it


[ahmed@MikroTik] > /queue tree enable “day”
[ahmed@MikroTik] >

and i tried disable it and enable it trough /queue tree disable “day” and /queue tree enable “day” and both is working on queue disable and enabling.

The last idea, check that your code is in two separated lines:

/queue tree enable "day"
/queue tree disable "night"

I made some tests and these scripts works for me perfectly (ROS 5.1)

HTH,

13

Thanks for your kind help , but still i can not success in this even after upgrade to 5.1 and put the script in two seperated lines , can you please do me favor and post the final working config for the script , scedular , clock and queue Tree .

i do appreciate your kind support .

Below is export from scripts and scheduler, it works 100%:

/system script
add name=day policy=\
    ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,sensitive,api \
    source=\
    "/queue tree disable \"night_queue\";\r\
    \n/queue tree enable \"day_queue\";\r\
    \n"
add name=night policy=\
    ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,sensitive,api \
    source="/queue tree enable \"night_queue\";\r\
    \n/queue tree disable \"day_queue\";"
    
/system scheduler
add disabled=no interval=2m name=day_time on-event=day policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,sensitive,api start-date=apr/18/2011 \
    start-time=10:48:00
add disabled=no interval=2m name=night_time on-event=night policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,sensitive,api start-date=apr/18/2011 \
    start-time=10:49:00

IMHO you should also set your clock according to your location (proper time zone) and set SNTP client with these settings:

/system ntp client
set enabled=yes mode=unicast primary-ntp=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx secondary-ntp=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

List of time servers closer to you is here:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
I didn’t export my ‘queue tree’ because it’s not important in this case, you was able to enable/disable queues manualy from command-line.

HTH,

Thank you million time for your kind help .
