Auto-run flexget on startup

Lukasz Obara

New Around Here
I'm trying to get flexget to automatically execute. I currently have an ASUS RT-N66U with Tomato Shibby installed, and entware-ng installed on a USB stick. After a great deal of effort, I have a working config.yml file for flexget and placed in the same directory as flexget, (that is /opt/bin). I'm able to execute it by changing directories to /opt/bin following by:

flexget execute

I've followed the instruction for scheduling on the OpenWRT page and edited my crontab file to check every 3 minutes for testing purposes

*/3 * * * * /opt/bin/flexget --cron execute

I've also tried

*/3 * * * * /opt/bin/flexget -c /tmp/mnt/sda2/Download2/config.yml --cron execute

and

*/3 * * * * /opt/bin/flexget -c /tmp/mnt/sda2/Download2/config.yml --cron


but I'm not having any luck getting it to work, that is the torrent files do not appear in Transmission. The error message that keeps appearing is

Failed to find configuration file config.yml
Tried to read from: /tmp/home/root, /root/.flexget, /root/.config/flexget

If I execute manually they torrents will propagate. This is the last thing that I need to set up and any any help would be great.

Unable to get flexget to work with config.yml in another path.
