@Bergerie you need to replace 'SLEEP' with 'sleep'.

However this script still doesn't work for me.

looking for fritz.box fritz.box found retrieving session id session id requesting reboot new session id requesting status {"pid":"logout"}waiting for fritzbox to go down

then it waits there forever. I'm guessing the fritzbox isn't eben being told to restart, so he keeps silently pinging google until the internet goes down - which never happens.

How is this script even supposed to restart the router without any authentication?
