bootlocal.sh blocks system
« on: December 30, 2016, 11:58:19 AM »
Hi,

I need to start an endless script during startup.
By a stupid accident, I forgot to start the script within bootlocal.sh as background process.
So my system is now blocked and I can't connect to it via ssh.

Is there any chance to prevent bootlocal.sh from being started?

Thanks and best regards
Gerhard

Hi,
boot with  norestore  boot code.
Then do  filetool.sh -r  to restore your backup into the filesystem (at this stage your  bootlocal.sh  won't run),
 fix your  bootlocal.sh
 run  filetool.sh -b
 reboot.

Thanks a lot.
I will try.

But I assume that this will also break my wifi and that I have to do this via keyboard and hdmi monitor. Right?
Is there a way to change the bootlocal.sh via ssh?

Thanks and best regards
Gerhard

Yes, you would need physical access to your box as SSH won't be running and your WIFI connection won't have been established.
I currently don't know an alternative way.
