Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: init script not working in /etc/init.d

Hi Dwarakesh,

Thanks for the info.
Do you have any document to refer? I checked again and found that all the default init scripts are in init.d and systemD consist of config files.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Dwarakesh,

I tried exactly the same steps as mentioned in the link provided by you but still didn't get any logs on console.

This is what I tried

 vi /lib/systemd/system/myinit.service

[Unit]
Description=My init scripts

[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/init.d/myinitscript.sh
StandardOutput=journal+console

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

vi /etc/init.d/myinitscript.sh

#!/bin/sh
echo ""
echo "Hello from Sitara!!!"
echo ""

Could you suggest what might be the problem?

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I tried renaming. That's also not working.

Thanks,

In that case, I would suggest couple of things to confirm if script is running.
1. Can you create a file from your script at a known location
2. Can you create a dependency on a daemon and run the script later in time.

I am thinking since systemD runs services in parallel, may be your script is run way ahead, before even terminal is ready.

Hi,

1. I tried your first solution by modifying the script to create a file

I added this line to create a file create.txt

echo > /home/root/create.txt

but create.txt not created.

2. I'm not getting how 2nd solution can be implemented.  How to create dependency on daemon?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Deshvir,

Would suggest to check the status of the service
# systemctl status myinit.service
Also would suggest you to manually start like
# systemctl start myinit.service

Hi,

Via provided commands, service started working. But why its not automatically working at boot up?

Below are the logs:

root@am335x-evm:/etc/init.d# systemctl status myfirstscript.service

��● myfirstscript.service - My init scripts

Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/myfirstscript.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Hi Deshvir,

I am not sure, maybe you can try different WantedBy= like default.target

Hi Dwarakesh,

WantedBy= default.target also didn't give any expected output.

Thanks and Regards,

Ok missed out the basic step to say

# systemctl enable myinitscript.service and reboot. Then onwards it should work

Hi Deshvir Malik,

I also have been facing the same problem. I tried running the init script from rc5 and rcS but no success. Can you please share the solution if you have fixed it already?

Hi Ravikumar,

Which version of software package you are using ? If it is latest SDK, then you need to systemD, instead of rcS scripts. Please check my replies above.
