Automatic service start on voxel firmware

[mgiunktode]

First of all, thanks to voxel for providing his powerful firmware.

I need to automatically start a service (S99debian) at router boot.
So I :
1) Put the script S99debian in /opt/etc/init.d/S99debian
2) Gave execution permission
3) Linked in /etc/rc.d (lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jan 13 10:02 S99debian -> ../../opt/etc/init.d/S99debian)

But it doesn't seem to start: obviously I'm missing something.

Of course it works if I launch it manually with:
/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian start

What am I missing?

Thanks

Step 3. I would suggest to use chroot-ed Debian in conjunction with minimal Entware installation. I.e. first you should install Entware to your USB disk (formatted as ext-4). I.e. download https://www.voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/Voxel/Entware/entware-cortex-a15-3x-initial-generic.tar.gz archive, unpack it from the root of your USB drive. You should get two directories: autorun and entware.

autorun/scripts contains script which is executed every time after reboot router or attach this USB to router. And it runs all init scripts from /opt/etc/init.d (where /opt is de-facto symlinks to your entware directory on USB). So if you place after all these actions your S99debian to /opt/etc/init.d it should be started automatically.

P.S. make sure that you are not using /opt as internal flash memory of your router.
