RT-AX57 GO - can't add my script/service to autorun

[NewbieWanderer]

Hello. I want to compile some small Golang app for this device and add it to autorun. Don't have the app now, so right now i'm just testing with a small script that does almost nothing - just creates a dir. Suppose - if i could autorun this script then i could use the same mechanism for autorun my app.

test.sh

#!/bin/sh
mkdir /jffs/someTestDir

I'm not sure how to do this - there is no /etc/init.d or systemctl. I have tried some things like this and this. The problem - there is no scripts dir in /jffs, no Persistent JFFS2 partition section in my Administartion/System page, no such key as jffs2_scripts in nvram and if i do nvram set jffs2_scripts="1"; nvram commit; reboot - no scripts dir is created or something. I tried to create a cron job, but it not survives a reboot - cru l is empty after this. The wiki says about available scripts like services-start. Not sure where are they available - i have only those i have created. Tried to make services-start with cron job that starts test.sh - nothing, again. I'm out of ideas how to add something to autorun in this device

This router doesn't have Asuswrt-Merlin firmware available for it. It runs stock Asuswrt.

I don't know the difference between and just want to add my thing to autorun. You want to say that i can't do this with default firmware?

You can’t do this in stock Asuswrt.

There is not way to replace files in /sbin (says, it's readonly) either, right?

Since the RT-AX57 Go has a USB port, the "asusware-usbmount" scripting may work to execute "/jffs/scripts-startup.sh" on USB mount.

I tried to do something like nvram set script_usbmount="/bin/sh /jffs/scripts/test.sh"; nvram commit; reboot, then pluged usb in (it mounts automatically in /tmp/mnt/), but it didn't work. Where is "asusware-usbmount"?

This method doesn’t work anymore.

 

[NewbieWanderer]

If only i could to find rarely usable service that for some reason autoruns and replace it with mine

I tried to do something like nvram set script_usbmount=

The nvram variable "script_usbmount" auto-mount method no longer works - "asd" (or perhaps another daemon) nukes the variable's content.

Where is "asusware-usbmount"?

As the text at the link states - "How to use this
Download asusware-usbmount.zip then extract asusware.arm directory to the root of your USB storage device."
