yes, Enable JFFS custom scripts is set

Uninstall it and then reinstall with amtm.

Syslog-ng starts with the other entware scripts (S01 in this case), and entware is triggered by the diversion script (whether diversion is running or not) which runs from post-mount.

I already have reinstalled scribe but this has not helped me

But it starts okay if you run scribe start in a terminal?

So check that S01syslog-ng is in /opt/etc/init.d, as well as rc.func.syslog-ng. Check that /jffs/scripts/post-mount has a line calling /jffs/addons/diversion/mount-entware.div. Check that both are executable.

Are you running any other amtm scripts? Diversion?

If you look in the system log after a reboot, when it hasn't started, there should be a line after post-mount runs where klogd and syslogd exit and syslog-ng starts. Is there an error message there? It should look something like this:

Sep 21 08:14:50 RT-AC86U fs at /dev/sda1 mounted on /tmp/mnt/Cruzer.

Sep 21 08:14:50 RT-AC86U elorimer: Started haveged from /jffs/scripts/post-mount.

You can see the starting sequence. The USB stick is mounted; post-mount is triggered; that includes starting the swap file, then triggering the mount-entware.div script; then entware starts and fires up S01syslog-ng, which in turn calls rc.func.syslog-ng to kill klogd and syslogd and starts syslog-ng. I included the last line as it moves on to S02, etc.

I successfully manually start syslog-ng with with amtm utility (amtm => 5 open scribe => rs)

So check that S01syslog-ng is in /opt/etc/init.d

S01syslog-ng and rc.func.syslog-ng executable files there are in /opt/etc/init.d/

@RT-AC86U-C920:/tmp/home/root# ls -lh /opt/etc/init.d/

but there is no line calling /jffs/addons/diversion/mount-entware.div in /jffs/scripts/post-mount

@RT-AC86U-C920:/tmp/home/root# cat  /jffs/scripts/post-mount

Are you running any other amtm scripts?

I use Skynet, scribe, uiScribe, Entware packages, Disk check script, Swap file

If you look in the system log after a reboot

Where is location of system log?

Where is location of system log?

If scribe is running, it will be /opt/var/log/messages.
If scribe is not running, then it is /tmp/syslog.log

It looks to me like your problem is that entware is never called on boot to start the Sxx packages. You might try reinstalling entware from amtm and see if that fills in the missing bits. @thelonelycoder built in impressive self-healing capabilities.

How Can I to reinstall entware from amtm?

Hmm. Good question. One way might be to install Diversion Lite, and then disable it if you don't want it.

 

[tm4ig]

I have created /jffs/scripts/scribe-start file with "sh /jffs/scripts/scribe start" record and scribe with syslog-ng autostart works

That isn't going to get you fully on the same page with the other scripts. It won't start your S99 package, for example, and if later you add other packages they won't auto start.

Plus, how does scribe-start itself get called?
