Finless 1.6 init.d support

[agw9262]

WHen I get home again I will try this approach. That did not work before for me which is the way most ROMs do it. It has to do with kernel support. So maybe this kernel has it.

In the mean time try this. Create a install-recovery.sh in /system/etc and set permissions. Edit this and put your script in it. Let's see if init.rc is processing this script at all as stated in init.rc like below:
service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
class main
oneshot

See if your script runs in this script call.

Something weird is going on here...

I created a /system/etc/install-recovery.sh with the following content:

#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /sdcard/Download/mytest

Still the directory isn't created during boot.... damn!!! So it isn't limited to the run-parts, something is wrong here...

Re: Finless 1.6 init.d support

I use the following as a test script in init.d

#!/system/bin/sh
#echo 'start'
echo 'test ok' >>/data/local/tmp/test.log

#insmod /system/lib/modules/md4.ko
#insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

I test this by executing from a terminal session, sometimes decomment the echo 'start' line as well. If it creates a file in
/data/local/tmp/test.log then I delete the test.log file and reboot. I'm looking to see the file created and have single test OK line.

If this works I comment out my test line and decomment the payload.

Ah! I did not read this before. SDcard is not mounted during init.rc. It gets mounted MUCH later when the OS comes up and uses vold.fstab. So try making a dir in sya /data somewhere to test!

Bob,

you were spot on - sdcard is late mount so my mistake.

So i know init.d is running now, but still cant solve the netcfg problem.

I need something later in the boot process to toggle the ethernet state.

Quest continues...

Thanks for the support

There is a APP on google play (I forget the name) that will run scripts after OS boot.
The supercharger V6 documentation mentions it for people that cannot mode init.rc

Yep, cracked it

Using Script Manager from the playstore allow you to execute a script following boot.

USB ethernet problem solved

Thanks again
