DIY workarounds? Scripting with WD EX4 Interface/UI. Stalled backups

Since I am getting no replies or service from WD at this point…Doe anyone know of a way to script or automate a function in the WD UI?

The problem is that Elephant Drive cloud backups stall/stop randomly. THis has been reported over a month ago and escalated/elevated etc. Still no real replies/solutions or even contact/updates etc.

So I need a script that will log into the EX4 web interface or? , select the backups tab/option- thne select the Elephant drive button, then log out of and back into the ED service. And It needs to happen every 15 minutes or so.

Any folks here ever had a similar issue or know of an option that will do the same effective action?

Thanks-

I haven’t done it, but I’m sure you could enable SSH, and create a shell script to log in through SSH and perform this operation. Then you could create a Kron job to run the script ever 15 minutes.
