<DIV>Hello Francisco,</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your answer, I’ve tried to include $mountkernfs in the required
modules of the script, but it didn’t work.</DIV>
<DIV>I’m not sure why the “touch” command doesn’t work because i set remountrw
just before the command but the file is not created.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’ve also tried using another directory that is not tmpfs but the result is
the same, it works when I start it manually but not after rebooting</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(I’ve set #!bin/bash at the beggining of the script)</DIV>

Toni,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think that the problem is the moment executed script. Question ¿is
mounted /var/log? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For depuration include into script a mount command before touch file
log.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PD: normaly, /var/log is mount tmpfs (/etc/init.d/mountkernfs). Is the
execution your script before or after mountkernfs?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards.</DIV>

<DIV>Yes, sorry thats a typo, I actually use what you wrote
logFile=/var/log/test.log </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I start the script manually “/etc/init.d/script start” it runs my
program ok and generates the proper log file, the problem is that after
rebooting, my program starts automatically but the no log file is
created.</DIV>

<DIV>when I try to run the script from bash it works perfectly, but when it
runs after a reboot, the log file isn’t generated. I’m suspecting it could
be a matter of mounting the file system after starting my script, but I’ve
checked the execution number and its the last one it shares the number with
some other processes). Anyone can guess what’s wrong with the
code?</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
