Script for removing file

[SebZab]

I want to remove "minidlna.log" file after each reboot of router.
I added "rm" command to post-mount script but it doesn't work:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 2m
/opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload start
rm -f /tmp/mnt/sda5/media/minidlna/minidlna.log

When I do "rm" command manually in putty it works and remove the file.
What is wrong ?

First, I have to ask the obvious (because I often forget myself)....the script is marked as executable and is located in /jffs/scripts ?

Second, try adding some logger commands so you can see in the system log that the script was actually executed and when.

#!/bin/sh
logger -t  "post-mount" "Started - sleeping"
sleep 2m
logger -t  "post-mount" "Resuming after sleep"
/opt/etc/init.d/S95Pyload start
rm -f /tmp/mnt/sda5/media/minidlna/minidlna.log

Ouch! That's a really bad idea. You're replacing /dev/null with <filename>

I will remove my original post. sorry for the bad idea.
