init scripts are not being executed on startup

Hello all,

I'm running Voxel Firmware V9.2.5.2.37SF-HW on my RBK50.

A couple of days ago, I ran opkg update and opkg upgrade. Since then, I have noticed that scripts that are located in /etc/init.d/ do not start during boot anymore.

I have even created a simple script that starts these services and put it in /opt/scripts and it seems that this does not work either.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Hello :)

Do you mean in /opt/etc/init.d/?

1) Check that you have /tmp/mnt/sda1/autorun/scripts/post-mount.sh on you optware disk, with this inside:
Code: 
# Start optware services if /opt is linked
if [ -x /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung ]; then

    # Start optware services
    /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start
fi

2) Then check that subdirectories in /opt are linked : ls -l /opt, that should give you something like this (more or less):
Code: 
root@HERMES:/tmp/mnt/sda1/autorun/scripts$ ls -l /opt
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 Dec 23 12:03 bin -> /tmp/mnt/sda1/entware/bin

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 Dec 23 12:03 usr -> /tmp/mnt/sda1/entware/usr
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 Dec 23 12:03 var -> /tmp/mnt/sda1/entware/var

drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root          504 Jan  1  1970 xagent

3) Then check that you do have /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung
rc.unslug is the script that runs everything executable inside /opt/etc/init.d/.
 
I'm trying to run another dnsmasq daemon. If I use a init.d script, it fails to work because the rc.func file checks for the process name.

I'm trying to instead, have a script run at startup that runs dnsmasq in the background. Where should I place the script so that it runs on startup?

Code: 
root@orbi-gateway:~# ls -lh /opt/

Here is one way :

Put your script for example at the root of the optware disk (or anywhere you want).

Then add a line at the end of /tmp/mnt/sda1/autorun/scripts/post-mount.sh to run your script (with the full path to your script):
Bash: 
# Start custom script
[ -x /tmp/mnt/sda1/myscript.sh ] && /tmp/mnt/sda1/myscript.sh

Then, each time you reboot or plug the optware disk, it will launch you script.
