Captive Portal Service Starting & Stopping from console

[darkfox]

Hi all,
I need to start and stop captive portal service with cron, Because I want to share internet connection without any download/user limit during 20:00PM till 7:00AM. I couldn't find a way to stop and start captive portal service from console.

Thanks

There isn't a single easy command that does so. You can check what functions get run when enabling and disabling CP entirely and put together a small script to do that.

when i tried to run the page to stop service from console via

php /usr/local/www/status_services.php mode=stopservice service=captiveportal

I got error : i got Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname.

Can you suggest me a way to do it? Thanks
