Make a script to run AFTER the init of the Piratebox

Hi,

I've just asking if its possible to put some an extra script for doing small things, for example, do SSH to a RPi via LAN and do some stuff there..

My current setup is

----------- LAN ------------------------
PBox | --------> | RaspberryPiA+ |
---------- -----------------------
where my PBox device is a MR-3020.

Where I can put that script with the certainty that, once the initialization is complete (Of the PBox), the script will be executed?

Thanks!

I do not know if there is a SSH client pre installed on OpenWrt based PirateBox, but to answer your question:

We have a couple of "hook" where you can place your custom scripts

/opt/piratebox/bin/hooks: 
hook_piratebox_start_done.sh
hook_piratebox_start.sh
hook_piratebox_stop_done.sh
hook_piratebox_stop.sh
hook_post_init.sh
hook_pre_init.sh
hook_pre_openwrt_init.sh

The default empty script looks like this (hook_piratebox_start_done.sh)

#!/bin/sh

# ---- TEMPLATE ----

# Runs on every Startup after the normal init-steps are done
#  get config file 

if [ !  -f $1 ] ; then
  echo "Config-File $1 not found..."
  exit 255
fi

#Load config
. $1

# You can uncommend this line to see when hook is starting:
# echo "------------------ Running $0 ------------------"

You can put your scripts there. I recommend to uncomment the "Running" line to get an idea if that script was executed...

Hi Matthias,

I didn't find on any of the scripts

hook_piratebox_start_done.sh
hook_piratebox_start.sh
hook_piratebox_stop_done.sh
hook_piratebox_stop.sh
hook_post_init.sh
hook_pre_init.sh
hook_pre_openwrt_init.sh

than give me a message in dmesg, or i'm just looking in the wrong logfile?

Thanks!

Juan

Those scripts are at /opt/piratebox/bin/hooks

dmsg only contains Kernel messages. You will see the message while being connected via serial cable or when you manually restart PirateBox with /etc/init.d/piratebox restart
