Hi Everyone, Hoping to get some direction here. I am trying to create a flow where I ping google every 10 mins, if ping is false, wait another 10 mins, ping again and if false, run ssh command to reboot the router (it an asus router that allows ssh). However, I am struggling with catching the outpu…

This is the solution I ended up with using inject, exec, delay, switch, and bigssh nodes. The 2nd ping is just to double check if the first ping was by error. [image] [ { "id": "343e08a1.fc3668", "type": "tab", "label": "Reboot Router", "disabled": false, …

The exit code for success (in the exec node) is 0, anything else is not good. But I am not sure what your flow is doing. You have a ping node, switch, delay and an exec node that pings again (?) Try this flow: [{"id":"d0e65ce4.139f68","type":"inject","z":"c7a7f9b9.d798d8","name":"","topic":"","pa…

Thank you @bakman2 for the flow. Is is odd that when I tried to catch the non-zero on the exec node, it didn't work for me. I will try your code. If someone can please assist with the SSH node, that will be great! Thanks!

I haven't used the SSH node, when I want to execute a remote command via ssh I use a normal Exec node with a command something like ssh user@ip_address 'reboot'. If the reboot command needs to be sudo reboot then the device being rebooted needs to be configured to not need a password for that comma…

thanks @Colin ! so for me because i have a password, would it be ssh user:password@ip_address 'reboot'

Ok, found that it is possible to use the bigssh node to run the command. I will post the resulting flow in a bit.

You can simplify it somewhat using a Trigger node instead of the delay. Feed the Fail output from the ping into a trigger node set to send nothing then send the fail message after two minutes. Feed the Success output of the ping into a Change node that sets msg.reset and also feed that into the tr…

I guess so, but you would be better to setup ssh keys, if possible, so you can access without having to include the password in plain text anywhere.
