unslung cron ipkg problem

[bubieyehyeh]

I installed the cron ipkg problem. However I'm having trouble getting it to start the cron daemon at bootup. I tried adding:
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung
to /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
and then just
/opt/sbin/cron
but neither seems to work.

However if I use either of the commands, when I telnet or ssh in I can start the cron daemon.

Anyone see what I'm missing?

If you mean at the start of /usr/local/sbin/post-boot. I already have that. It starts dropbear (the ssh server) but not the cron server started afterwards.

Mine config:

$ cat /opt/etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin
MAILTO=""
HOME=/

$ cat /opt/etc/init.d/S10cron
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for cron
#
# Stop myself if running
if [ -n "`pidof cron`" ]; then
/bin/killall cron 2>/dev/null
fi

/opt/sbin/cron

Mine config:


$ cat /opt/etc/init.d/S10cron
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for cron
#
# Stop myself if running
if [ -n "`pidof cron`" ]; then
/bin/killall cron 2>/dev/null
fi

/opt/sbin/cron


Thanks for that, the crontab gave me some ideas.
My S10cron is the same. However the cron daemon
doesn't get started at bootup.

Here my /usr/local/sbin/post-boot


#!/bin/sh

# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part2

# Start ssh server
dropbear

# Run all active services - active means starts with S
#/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung

# Start Cron
/opt/sbin/cron


The dropbear server starts ok at bootup but not the cron server. I also tried the commented /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung but that doesn't work either.
