Thread: post-boot in /usr/local/sbin/ doesn't seem to run after boot up

    Unhappy post-boot in /usr/local/sbin/ doesn't seem to run after boot up

    Dear all,

    I upgraded the firmware of my wl500g deluxe to the latest firmware v.1.9.2.7 CR3b by oleg. And I followed the instructions in the howto guide "WAN Webserver on port 80" to configure my post-boot with the following code.

    mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /tmp/harddisk -t ext3
    busybox_httpd -p 8080 -h /tmp/harddisk/web

    After I bootup the router, I excuted the command ps. But the busybox_httpd was not found.

    I tried to amend the post-boot as following:

    touch /usr/local/sbin/abc
    mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /tmp/harddisk -t ext3
    busybox_httpd -p 8080 -h /tmp/harddisk/web

    After bootup, the file /usr/local/sbin/abc was not found. It seems that the script post-boot was not executed at all.

    Remark : I did chmod +x post-boot.

    Am I doing anything wrong? May someone help me please? Thanks!

    Make sure your file starts with
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh

    If firewall is enable, post-firewall is executed instead of post-boot

    No. Both are executed.

    I'm trying to run stupid-ftp with a custom config, but I run into the same problem that post-boot is not executed (post-firewall is ignored as well).
    In the web interface, FTP is disabled.
    Some relevant output:
    Code:
    [admin@CPxxxxx-A /]$ cat /.version
    1.9.2.7-3b
    [admin@CPxxxxx-A /]$ cd /tmp/local/init
    [admin@CPxxxxx-A init]$ cat post-boot
    #!/bin/sh
    /usr/sbin/stupid-ftpd -f /usr/local/stupid-ftpd.conf
    echo 'Post-Boot processed' > /var/log/post-boot
    [admin@CPxxxxx-A init]$ ./post-boot
    [admin@CPxxxxx-A init]$ 
    [admin@CPxxxxx-A init]$ ls -lA
    -rw-r--r--    1 admin    root          174 Feb 14 20:32 .files
    -rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root          111 Feb 14 22:01 post-boot
    -rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root           71 Feb 14 22:01 post-firewall
    -rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root           36 Jan 15 21:46 pre-boot
    If I run the post-boot manually (./post-boot), the log is created and the ftp daemon starts correctly.

    What is missing?

    post boot script must be in /usr/local/sbin/post-boot

    Sorry for my mistake, I had a typo in my post-boot script, and I activated firewall at same time!
    I completly forgot about this message since then

    This is not what it said on the WIKI but it does seem to work a lot better.
    Maybe someone who completely undestands what's in there can look at it to fix it there? I'm willing to give it a try but might introduce new errors...

    Once the boot process has been altered you can use it to customize your router. A number of scripts in the /usr/local/init directory can be used for this purpose:
    pre-boot
    post-boot
    post-firewall

    your script should be in the /usr/local/sbin, not init.
