entware services not autostarting

[NeoDragon]

I've installed entware on a rt-ac56u with transmission and minidlna. transmission and minidlna are not starting by themselves on reboot , I have to manually input in putty "/opt/etc/init.d/S90minidlna start" so the service starts.
I've tried to add it to /jffs/scripts/post-mount with no luck so far.
Anyone can help?

Edit : I was able to add transmission to the boot process by adding it to /jffs/scripts/post-mount , but Minidlna just won't cooperate :/
Edit2 : So far , adding /opt/etc/init.d/S90minidlna start to post-mount and services-start failed. Adding minidlna -f /opt/etc/minidlna.conf also failed.

Hi,

You need to look into the timing: Do you have only one USB device? For each USB device postmount script ist called with the parameter which mount was created.
service-start script might be called before(!) the postmount script (look into the syslog.log) and then the start of Entware has to fail as the USB device is not mounted yet.

The postmount script is the right place but only with the checking of the mounted device and adding a sleep could be also a good idea - see my example below!

With kind regards
Joe

then

else
echo $NOW "Postmount execution OK. Script: $0" >> $SCRLOG
fi
/usr/bin/logger -t STOP_$(basename $0) "return code $?"
# exec 1>&3 2>&4
exit $?

Thanks for the reply Joe!
I have 2 usb connected to a rt-ac56u. One usb-flash2.0 and one usb-hdd3.0

usb-flash mounted to /mnt/entware
usb-hdd mounted to /mnt/NetworkHDD

I will try your post-mount script and report
Thanks again!

Edit: Now "/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start" starts transmission properly but not minidlna ?

I'm got same problem...
Entware on stock 1031 firmware + transmission + minidlna (minidlna from entware, fw's minidlna cause too often disappears).
In log both starts after reboot:
...
admin: Started transmission-daemon from .
admin: Started minidlna from .
...
In reality - transmission works, minidlna not.
Checked by web: ip:8200
and by service: /opt/etc/init.d/S90minidlna check
Manually starts of
/opt/etc/init.d/S90minidlna
works good to next reboot.

Firmware stock (1031), so /jffs/ can be written, but not executing. Can't use Merlin fw - have not fixed bugs critical for me.
What todo, guys? Second start try throught nvram script?

Do not use asuswrt-merlin then.

Cap, I'm not using But need autostart for service... without jffs or switch on jffs on new stock fw.
Or may be some one can advise alternative DLNA server from entware packages? To many problems with minidlna...

.... To many problems with minidlna...

Have you increased log_level in config file and examined logs of minidlna? To solve the problem you need to examine logs.
