well I do not know if this is the correct method of running the script right. But I ran the command: /usr/lib/sqm/betterspeedtest.sh instead of the command: /usr/lib/sqm/ sh betterspeedtest.sh and voila it is actually running! I get the welcome message and everything. But I do not know if that is the correct way of doing it ? But I'll post my results down below: Without SQM root@cerowrt:~# /usr/lib/sqm/betterspeedtest.sh Testing against netperf.richb-hanover.com while pinging gstatic.com (60 seconds in each direction) ............................................................
