i see many parametrs with the command you gave , all posible command as i understand so i guess i have to use

ubus call hostapd.wlan0 "scan":{"device":"wlan0"}

but it doesnt work
also if i start scan i need to end it or it will ends itself?

Cron isn’t that complex to begin with and you only have one small line to write on.
You could use a script that is started by cron to get more advanced functions.
Like where do you put the result?

If your wireless interface is phy0-ap0 (the usual OpenWrt default, but substitute your own), the following command will write a scan to /tmp

iw dev phy0-ap0 scan > /tmp/wireless_scan

Edit: This scan ends itself....

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
grafik
Remember to redact passwords, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/wireless
