init script

[Doom]

Hi Eric,

I'm trying to run a script at startup without luck
I've put it in the /etc/init.d/ directory, then changed attribute using chmod 755
According to Kamikaze documentation, next step should be to enable it in this way :
/etc/init.d/filename enable
This should create a script file into /etc/rc.d/ but unfortunately I've got this error :

root@OpenWrt:/# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/filename
root@OpenWrt:/# /etc/init.d/filename
/bin/sh: can't open /etc/rc.common

Is there any particularity using Gargoyle to create init script ?
Thank you.

Regards

The init scripts in Gargoyle have exactly the same structure as in OpenWrt. I suspect the problem is something within your script -- can you post the script itself?

If what you want to do is simple you can just edit the /etc/init.d/done script, which runs right after everything is initialized. Edit the start() function in that script and add on whatever you want to do.

Sorry, you're right, some mistakes in my script
All is perfect now

Thank you.

Sorry for the gravedigging, but the search route me here.

I have the exact problem but i didn't find a solution.

For example i try to run (only run) a simple script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
echo culo

the result is

Code: Select all

root@741nd:/etc/init.d# chmod 755 scriptName
root@741nd:/etc/init.d# ./scriptName
'bin/sh: can't open '/etc/rc.common

(same, obviously, for the longer script that i would like to put as startup script)

Can anyone help me?

info: gargoyle 1.4.0 r27980 from here http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr741nd

fun fact, if i use a direct call to busybox it works (at least the run part)

Code: Select all

root@741nd:/etc/init.d# ls -l z_prova*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           37 Oct  8 21:30 z_prova_02.txt



root@741nd:/etc/init.d# /bin/ash z_prova_02.txt
culo
root@741nd:/etc/init.d# /bin/sh z_prova_02.txt
culo

but with the standard method...

Code: Select all

root@741nd:/etc/init.d# ./z_prova_02.txt
'bin/sh: can't open '/etc/rc.common

Weird.

OMFG i have wasted an entire afternoon.

SOLUTION: use line endings encode linefeed (unix) and not windows one.
