Power led successfully disabled on r7800 with openwrt

[routine]

I have been looking for a way to disable the power LED for a while..
I succeeded with openwrt simply by going to the led configuration menu and adding the r7800:whiteower to the configuration by deactivating it..
or manually adding these lines to

/etc/config/system :

config led 'led_power'
option name 'Power'
option sysfs 'r7800:whiteower'
option default '0'

I think there is no way to do it on the stock/Voxel firmware or am I wrong?

You have to do a patch.
I can not help now.
I am away.
Remind me next week!

The way to do it on the stock/Voxel is to run the command:

/sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  off

To turn it back ON:

/sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  on

I use init script to disable the power LED after reboot automatically. Part of the script:

. . .
start() {
    echo "Turn off Power LED..."
    /sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  off
    }
stop() {
    echo "Turn on Power LED..."
    /sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  on
    }
case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 (start|stop)"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

How, and where, should I put this script? I'm thinking it would make sense to be in init.d as it's a startup script, but I don't know into which one I should place it or if I should create a new one just for this?

Need to enable telnet under 192.168.1.1\debug.htm.
Then you need a telnet program to access the router and enter in the command given by Voxel.

New script in /etc/init.d is more correct way IMO. Or just add

/sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s off

command to /etc/rc.local script. Current /etc/rc.local is:

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
exit 0

change it to

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
/sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  off
exit 0

Already done that. Used putty each time I had to restart the router. Was hoping to find a way to make it permanent.

Thank you very much.

My rc.local file now looks like this.

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
/sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  off
exit 0

But it's not working. Have tried rebooting and waiting up to five minutes. I've tested the command directly:

/sbin/ledcontrol -n power -c green -s  off

So there's nothing wrong with that.

I know how to make a new file in init.d folder, but now how to make it start at boot. Sorry, Windows is my strong side, Linux, not so much.
