Annoying prompt in 2.9.19

Sun Apr 09, 2006 3:57 pm

This makes me crazy: "would you read the licence y/n?".

Please disable this "feature", as for me it's pain in the ass and I decided do not do any upgrades until I really have to.

Please do not make life legal software users harder than those using pirated soft.

(taloot) No, its not hard, but maybe microsoft should put their legal disclaimer up each time you reboot your computer or anytime you run a microsoft application. Just seeing it would get a little old, wouldn't it? Some people don't use winbox at all and prefer the command interface due to its BREVITY. An extra prompt each time you login is kind of counter-intuitive. But if they decide that they need to leave it there, I'll shut my mouth and deal with it. :)

Actually Microsoft does make you agree to their legal disclaimer each time you install one of their products. Simply read it once and be done with it ... it won't appear every time. At least here it isn't. Have you read it once and you are still getting asked each time?

Good question. 2.9.19 had a bug in it that I could not allow to exist, so I had to downgrade back to 2.9.18 before trying to see if reading the license made it stop coming up. If it in fact never comes up again after hitting "yes" and reading it one time, then obviously the issue is mute and (kapusta) needs to read it once and get over it.

In case it wasn't clear, I did not say that it was not normal for agreements to show up on install. :wink:

After one reading it's stop showing. Until next upgrade, I suppose? To "read" the licence a lot of enter pressing is needed or you have to deal with "n" every time.

Let's say I have 20 routers. There is about 30 upgrades every year. That mean I have to press enter about 10 000 times per year to "read" all licences or press "n" every time I use console.

Thank you MT Team for this so awaited "feature"!

If you actually upgrade your routers 30 times a year, you obviously do not mind wasting your time.

There is no reason to upgrade a router unless it is broken or the new version has a particular feature you need to use.

Do you think that they come out with new versions every week or two expecting that everyone is going to want to upgrade their routers for fun? The new versions are to address "specific issues".

You are opening a "pandora's box" of potential new bugs for no good reason, unless as I said, you must not mind wasting your time, and therefore, pressing the enter key a few times will just add to the fun....

Sorry to rant on you like that. Maybe I should take my prozac. :lol:

Please fix it very fast, because we use SSH to send command to the routers and this don't work now. I don't want to rewrite all my scripts.

Thanks

Hello, I use batch script using plink from winxp to MT router.

If I let a loop working with 3 connections per second with plink,
what happens is big memory drain, about 100MB per day on MT router,

no graphing or transparent proxy is involved.

Does anyone know why this drain happens ?

In test loop script I use plink to print hotspot users via ssh connection.
