    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    Both dnsmasq.postconf and hosts.conf as posted have "she bang" directive transpose to DOS notation for posting.

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    Cute. I still haven't figured out how you do those system file names without that nagging error message so I will go on using DOS notation to post. Yes it is correct in the original! Whether that is essential varies by *ix system although I have never seen one that didn't have a default shell...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    I had to edit for the posting restriction that obviously from your post has a a work around. Now for the surprise. Found an online reference to hosts.add for jffss configs and it works, unlike hosts.postconf and the addn-hosts directive which I will simply leave on the list as broken in the...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    Yes and no. Syslog says it ran if you trust the log message. But there is no sign that it actually spawned and executed. The hosts file did not change and the touch file in jffs did not appear as did from SSH. So did it actually execute or something intended to launch it but didn't. Frustrating...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    Same difference in this case - if only hosts.postconf would just run at boot time, which so far it has not. The use of shell variables as symbolic names is intentional for reasons of good coding practice, clarity and consistency across scripts to enforce configuration relationships, and parallel...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    It is posted as requested and not relevant to the stated problem. The data part is just fine as confirmed by examining all final file contents. The Issue is why the hosts.postconf does not fire to do its job as (mis?)understood to be documented and why the addn-hosts in the final dnsmasq.conf...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    Now we are getting somewhere. Yes, that is the sequence. I had wondered if this should be done another way once at boot time. Could the multiple repetitions be related to that? Suggestions welcome. Then used pure data configuration in jffs configs just in case. That still leaves the...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    I will take that as a backhanded compliment. Thank you for explaining the documentation. The problem is precisely and completely specified behaviorally. Still need to know where and how things go off track. Here's a bunch of data elements to go with it: In jffs custom configs: -rw-rw-rw- 1...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    Yeah, share that idea part, the directories issue was a surprise and enough said. OK, let's be real clear and specific: 1. dnsmasq.postconf is being repeatedly invoked nine times during reboot. Not maybe. Definitely. As seen in the 9 times by updated dnsmasq.conf.add content. Obviously...

    Problems with dnsmasq scripts and manual configuration

    After the policy forbidding system directory names in posted content was explained, here is the intent of the OP: OK, let's be real clear and specific: 1. dnsmasq.postconf is being repeatedly invoked nine times during reboot. Not maybe. Definitely. As seen in the 9 times by updated...
