[SOLVED] rc.local - won't run

boxb29 · 08-23-2009, 08:22 PM

I got it working finally. Took a slightly different route:

1. created a script /etc/init.d/hamtun

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# script to load tuncfg then hamachi at boot

sudo /usr/src/tuncfg/tuncfg
sudo /usr/src/hamachi/hamachi start

2.

Code:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/hamtun

3. execute this command to link the script to boot

Code:

update-rc.d hamtun defaults

4. reboot...and it works.

One note: tuncfg was loading all along, but not in the right order. If I remove the "tuncfg" line from this script and JUST load "hamachi start", it does not work because hamachi is being loaded before tuncfg. So, I suspect when I am loading tuncfg in this script it is getting loaded again elsewhere at boot - but that doesn't hurt anything.

Thanks all for the help!
