Scheduler not run the script, that works when manual run it

RouterOS Scripting

Hi all!

First of Greetings from the Hungarian MUM, and from Hungary. It’s great to meet with a lots of you. See how big the Mikrotik User Community is. Finally MUM arrived to my mother country too. :slight_smile:

Okay, my problem is strange. I’m using the same script without any change on different Mikrotik systems (v4.13,v4.16,v5.0rc11), with different architectures (x86 and mipsbe). It works on every system if I run it manually from System->Script. But if I want to run it using scheduler, the scheduler never start it. I don’t see any error message @ log.

v5.00RC11 Mipsbe (working one):

v4.13 x86 (not working one) V4.16 Mibsbe looks like the same:

Strange that at status of the window you see enabled on v5.00rc11 picture, and disabled on v4.13. But both are enabled if I check in System->Scheduler window.

If your script is named “weekly_backup”, that is all you should put in the “On Event”. Remove the “/system script run” part.

I assume that script is creating backup files. Older versions require ftp policy to save files, this problem is fixed n newer versions.

If you mean script policy setting, than ftp policy right is granted.

5

If that means it is still not running with the scheduler, then you should post the script.

sheduler should also have ftp policy enabled.

It’s good to know this.
