script won't run on scheduler?

RouterOS General
1

Hello ,
I have a strange problem -
I have a script that run jsut fine from terminal
but when I put him in scheduler it does nothing
I can see the scheduler run count +1 but the script is running

what could be the reason for it?

2

Have you tried putting this into the scheduler field instead of just the script name?

/system script run myscript

3

Are you sure that Scheduler has the same or more policies enabled than the script?

4

now after I write in the scheduler
/system script run myscript

it is working

what is the different?

5

Did you have multiple scripts on this device? Is it possible that they had similar names?

6

No multiple scripts on this device ,
I have also try to change the name - stil the same …

strange

Silly of me to ask but your router does have the correct time? Have had a similar issue when I didn’t set SNTP to a router once and it too didn’t run scripts at the correct time.

I thought about it also - :slight_smile:
the time is correct

If clock would affect this, then behavior would not differ between specifying script name or full script launch command.

Please provide precise export of:

  1. Script;
  2. Scheduler which works;
  3. Scheduler which does not work.

Hi,
please check policy in scheduler and on script. The policies in scheduler must be same or greater than on script.

I too facing similar issues in hotspot user profile logout . I am firing some url on logout . some time script executes some times not .
very strange behaviour . In some version of Mikrotik it work ok .but this issue is there. There is no gurantee that script will execute on time .
Hope mikrotik see this issue in detail.

put whole script inside { }

I have created script MQTT and schedule MQTT and had same issue.
When I changed both on mqtt it started working.
I think that key words should not been used.

Inside the scheduler you can put directly the script.
Why inside scheduler put a script that launch another script?

Maybe the documentation could be updated https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Scheduler because there, it reads: on-event (name) - name of the script to execute. It must be presented at /system script

Is old documentation, from v4 on 2008…
