To run the script via SSH

/volume1/scripts/syno_created_date.sh

Note: Replace /volume1/scripts/ with the path to where the script is located.

Troubleshooting

If the script won't run check the following:

1. Make sure you download the zip file and unzipped it to a folder on your Synology (not on your computer).
2. If the path to the script contains any spaces you need to enclose the path/scriptname in double quotes:

   sudo -s "/volume1/my scripts/syno_created_date.sh"
   

3. Make sure you unpacked the zip or rar file that you downloaded and are trying to run the syno_created_date.sh file.
4. Set the script file as executable:

   sudo chmod +x "/volume1/scripts/syno_created_date.sh"
