I have the following script working very well when I ssh into my dd-wrt router and issue the command

/opt/bin/curl --url "smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465" --ssl-reqd --mail-from "username@gmail.com" --mail-rcpt "username@gmail.com" --upload-file /mnt/mail.txt --user "username@gmail.com:password" --insecure

but when I issue the same commands via GUI; Administration/commands then the same script doesn't work.

any working solution will be a great help, thanks

Log in into the machine and type the command:

which sh

Put this value as a first line, preceding it with th #! characters, like

#!/bin/sh

What is your shell version? Look carefully at the first lines after you connected via ssh to your router. It's similar to:

BusyBox v1.15.3 (2011-11-24 00:44:20 CET) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

You may want to log the output of the command for debug purposes:

#!/bin/sh
/opt/bin/curl --url "smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465" --ssl-reqd --mail-from "username@gmail.com" --mail-rcpt "username@gmail.com" --upload-file /mnt/mail.txt --user "username@gmail.com:password" --insecure 2>&1 | logger -t $0

It will log the output using syslog facility. If it happens you have no syslog installed, you can log the output to a file:

#!/bin/sh
/opt/bin/curl --url "smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465" --ssl-reqd --mail-from "username@gmail.com" --mail-rcpt "username@gmail.com" --upload-file /mnt/mail.txt --user "username@gmail.com:password" --insecure >> /tmp/mylogfile 2>&1

Also, make sure, the script has an executable attribute set:

chmod a+rx /path/to/your/script
