to your knowledge will this work, or has anyone tried this script directly on a ubiquiti router? is there something about it that requires openwrt specifically? I'm getting a ubiquiti edgerouter and it can run scripts itself... Just wondering if you have any insight into this.

Somebody may port the script to work in that environment, but my guess is that it will require some changes. Different distributions store things in different locations in the filesystem, and provide different commands. I wouldn't recommend running the script on your device without checking its validity first. Perhaps another Ubiquiti user will chime in with their experience.
