delay start of transmission to wait for the USB disk mount

[sahilg009]

So I am currently on asus merlin
After every reboot transmission gives me a error unable to locate the files which vanishes as soon as i click on resume
I was wondering if it is possible to delay transmission startup by a few seconds allowing enough time for my disk to mount

Hi,

The simplest way is to add a sleep 2m (2 minutes) into the Transmission startup script named: S88transmission located in: /opt/etc/init.d/ - at the beginning of the script!

The more complex (but at the end much better) solution is to check in the post-mount script of Merlin's firmware that ALL(!) USB devices are mounted BEFORE(!) you start Entware - which then starts all the init.de components with mounted/working USB devices...

With kind regards
Joe

Thanks for the help
added this line to my config
disk still fail to mount and i dont think this worked as i experienced no delay in startup

This is what my config looks like now
ENABLED=yes
PROCS=transmission-daemon
ARGS="-g /opt/etc/transmission"
PREARGS=""
DESC=$PROCS
PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin$

TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME="/opt/share/transmission/web"

. /opt/etc/init.d/rc.func
sleep 1m

It reads the script from the top, sleeping when the job is done is normal for humans. For scripts, however...
