scripts not executing on boot

[mzuri]

Hi all,

I am having problems with my script not executing at boot. I see some old threads and have tried all the solutions but this is driving me crazy.

1 I started with fresh reset
2. Format jffs / enable jffs script and reboot
3. Services-start.sh script copied into Nano (through putty) as Notepad++ and WinSCP transfer came up with file not found error although file is seen with ‘ls’ command in the scripts directory
4. shebang on 1st line , combinations of sleep 10 to sleep 60 on 2nd line
5. After changing direcory ‘cd /jffs/scripts’ followed by chmod a+rw

Executes fine directly with ./services.start.sh but does not invoke/execute at boot

Help!

thanks for any advice

Did you checked "Yes" to "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs", right below "Format JFFS partition at next boot" ?

Shouldn't that be chmod a+rx?

Your file name is wrong, the full path should be "/jffs/scripts/services-start"

Ok maybe I am just dumb but how is the file name 'services-start' different from my 'services-start' ?

And yes #2 - I did check "Yes" to "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs", right below "Format JFFS partition at next boot"

Here is my file info:

admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/tmp/home/root# cd /jffs/scripts
admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/jffs/scripts# ls -t
services-start.sh

 

[octopus]

services-start.sh
services-start

This is the differences.

 

[mzuri]

services-start.sh
services-start

This is the differences.

You are absolutely right! I reset to factory and enabled JFFS custom scripts and configs", right below "Format JFFS partition at next boot" . Then SSHed with putty

admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/tmp/home/root# cd /jffs/scripts
admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/jffs/scripts# nano

Inserted code & saved as services-start NOT as services-start.sh (as I must have done previously)

admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/jffs/scripts# chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*
admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/jffs/scripts# ls -t
services-start
admin@RT-AC68U-CFC8:/jffs/scripts# reboot

services-start invoked & executed correctly

Thank you Octopus for holding my hand - May you grow many more arms!
