asuswrt-merlin jffs scripts not executed

[phyrexianhulk]

Hello everyone and thanks for your time,

I have an AC68U with merlin 3.0.0.4.374.43_2 running. Everything works quite well, except that the user scripts within /jffs/scripts/ do not get executed on a reboot.

This is the contents of /jffs/scripts/:

admin@MCP:/jffs/scripts# ls -lisha
      2      0 drwxr-xr-x    4 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:15 .
      1      0 drwxr-xr-x    6 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:21 ..
    808      1 -rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root         902 Aug 17 20:55 backup.sh
    747      0 -rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root         439 Aug 23 10:18 firewall-start
    906      0 -rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root         268 Aug 23 10:16 init-start
    894      0 drwxrwxrwx    2 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:15 logs
    826      0 -rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root         241 Aug 23 10:17 services-start
    769      0 -rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root         357 Aug 23 10:17 wan-start

Each of the scripts has this as its first entry, with the postfix according to its own name:

#!/bin/sh

DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S")
mkdir -p logs
touch logs/$DATE-firewall-start

When I execute them manually the logs/ directory fills up quite nicely:

admin@MCP:/jffs/scripts/logs# ls -lisha
    894      0 drwxrwxrwx    2 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:31 .
      2      0 drwxr-xr-x    4 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:15 ..
    922      0 -rw-rw-rw-    1 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:31 2014-08-23-103107-init-start
    923      0 -rw-rw-rw-    1 admin    root           0 Aug 23 10:31 2014-08-23-103112-wan-start

However, after a reboot there are no new logs and the scripts do not get executed.

Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss something?

Thank you for your help!

Yes:

touch logs/$DATE-firewall-start

Use full paths for every filename.

Huh. Nice catch! You are right. I feel embarrassed now...

By the way, if anyone happens to need that kind of file touching mechanism, I improved the snippet to auto-include the filename of the current shell script:

#!/bin/sh

DIR=/tmp
DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S")
NAME=`basename $0`
mkdir -p $DIR
touch $DIR/$DATE-$NAME

This will give you filenames like these:

2011-01-01-010012-init-start
2011-01-01-010019-services-start
2011-01-01-010021-wan-start
2011-01-01-010025-firewall-start

Thanks again for your help!
