Hi All,
How can I execute my scirpt on startup? For example, in red hat linux, fedora or similar systems, there is rc.local file when I can add my own scirpts.
Where can I add scripts to this execute after system startup?

we use a sys V compatible init, so you can add any script you want.
The default runlevel is 3.
(put the script in /etc/init.d/yourscript, and create a symlink /etc/rc3.d/S01yourscript to /etc/init.d/yourscript)
Or ask google for more details.

HI, I have a little problem with script startup on boot.
I need to start one simple script and your directions are not working well on my VU+ Solo2.
Would you please help?
I placed script in /etc/init.d
chmod 777 script_name.sh
then in /etc/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/script_name.sh /etc/rc3.d/S01script_name.sh
after restart VU nothing happens...
when I check if my script is ok I can run it without any problem from console with command... (and it does what it supose to do) 
/etc/init.d/script_name.sh
Any ideas? probably something simple I missed...

ln -s /etc/init.d/script_name.sh /etc/rc3.d/S01script_name.sh
should be
ln -s ../init.d/script_name.sh /etc/rc3.d/S01script_name.sh
should be
ln -s ../init.d/script_name.sh /etc/rc3.d/S01script_name.sh

Probably you're missing environment settings. For example HOME is not set, and PATH usually only contains "/bin:/usr/bin".
Direct your script's output to a file (e.g. in /tmp/) so you can read what went wrong. You can do this by running a second script that just runs the actual script with output redirection.

OK, I know how to set up environment variables...
but question is what settings are correct ones?
How Home and Path should look like?

Check with command 'set' in a telnet session.
Mine looks like this:
HOME='/home/root'
PATH='/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin'

Hi mattiL,
This is what i did. I have the same variables as yours.
I tried to create symlink the way suggested by MiLo and it worked...
ln -s ../init.d/script_name.sh /etc/rc3.d/S01script_name.sh
but still dont understand whats the difference...
Thank MiLo and MattiL
All is working fine now.

Is "at" command supported in Openpli?
I want to run script 1 minute after start up so I would use "at" command rather than "sleep" cause sleep command just delaying boot.
For example
$ at now + 1 minutes at> echo "Hello world" >
But seems to me that "at" is not supported in OpenPli....

No, it isn't.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Create a script that includes the sleep and the command you want to execute. Then put the script into a init.d script like this:
<path>/script_name &
This don’t delay the boot as the script is executed in background.
<path>/script_name &
This don’t delay the boot as the script is executed in background.
