Title: Busybox Commands In Rc.local
Post by: daniel3000 on June 21, 2006, 01:01:26 pm

Hello,

I try to activate my swap file from rc.local.

I have created a file /etc/rc.d/rc.local (renaming the old one of Cacko 1.23 to another name) and filled it with the commands:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
irattach /dev/ttyS1
swapon /hdd3/.swapfile
the irattach command is executed well.
however, the swapon command just returns

Code: [Select]

swapon: swapon: No such file or directory
/sbin/swapon is a link to /bin/busybox.
irattach is a binary in /usr/sbin/irattach.

I tried copying the link for swapon into /usr/sbin, to no avail.
I tried the command
/bin/busybox swapon /hdd3/.swapfile
in rc.local, to no avail.

Does anyone know what I have to do to make rc.local activate my swap file?

Thank you!
daniel

its because your hdd's are not mounted yet. try adding it to hddmount script in /sbin

Thanks bam!
adding the swapon command to the end of hddmount indeed works.

On the C3000, rc.local worked for this. too, so I thought it would work on the 3100 too. But not so, probably because the hard disk of the C3000 holds parts of the ROM so all the file systems are mounted earlier on the C3000 thn on the C3100.

this is one of the reasons I moved back to the stock rom. I prefer to handle stuff in rc.d rather than any other places, and the hddmount dealie just bugged me. also I had to install ssl onto the cacko rom, seems it didnt have it preinstalled...odd.
