Hi all,
I am trying to call a script at boot time. The script is available inside
/system/sbin, but it seems it is not executed.
Here are the details.
In my init.<target>.rc:
service sampleservice /system/bin/sh /system/sbin/samplescript.sh
user root
oneshot
The script itself:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo The sample script works!
echo "The sample script works!" > /data/misc/samplescript
The permissions of /system/sbin/samplescript.sh are as follows: -rw-r--r--
Doing from command line "sh /system/sbin/samplescript.sh" works perfectly,
but it seems the script is not executed at boot time. There are no entries
in /data/misc/samplescript
* How can I resolve this issue? Where should I see the output of the "echo"
command? Is there another/better way to have it printed in logcat or dmesg?
* The script itself is not executable. Does this matter and if yes, how do
I have to make it executable? In my original directory it is executable,
but somehow during the copy process (with PRODUCT_LOCAL_COPY) the
executable rights disappear.
* Another option I see is that I did not "register" a service as such (e.b.
by specifiying "LOCAL_MODULE" in your Android.mk and mention it in core.mk)
and perhaps this is just not the right way to call a sh script at boot time?
Any help is more than welcome!
Best regards,
Pieter
