Thank you once again Rich, this is now working perfectly.
it's loading all my scripts.

when I reboot it doesn't remember the root password I set. is there something im missing?

when I boot into tinycore I use the command "sudo passwd root" - is there a way for tinycore to remember the password I set?

oh oh, I got a problem.

looks like my auto login scripts arent working.

I noticed for a brief moment before tinycore loaded there was a CIFS error.

when the system loaded I noticed my script
"sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/media/BitTorrent /mnt/BitTorrent -o noperm,user=admin,pass=*****" didnt activate because it's not visible when I type mount"
however it works if I type it manually after the system has booted. something about the /opt/bootlocal.sh isnt doing this properly.
&
"sudo transmission-daemon -f" activated because when I type 'ps -a' I can see it there, but I cannot access the web ui. however if I kill that process and type "sudo transmission-daemon -f" after the system has booted it works.

it's as if both these commands wont work in the bootlocal.sh, but will work when the system has already booted - Rich got any ideas?

/opt/bootlocal.sh is running as root (so avoid sudo).

removed everything from /opt/bootlocal.sh so that I can work out what is going on.
I have removed sudo and used the following commands

"/bin/mkdir /mnt/BitTorrent"
"/bin/mount -t cifs //192.168.0.10/media/BitTorrent /mnt/BitTorrent -o noperm,user=admin,pass=*****"
I read somewhere on the forum to try /bin/command, and for someone it worked, unfortunately if I can't get a simple mount to work in bootlocal.sh then I need to find another way.

both lines work when I type it in manually
mkdir works on boot
mount does not work on boot

Likely your network is not yet up at that point. Add a sleep before those commands, or perhaps a ping loop.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I have also tried adding the commands to /opt/bootsync.sh (no difference)

aha. you are correct.
I took a screenshot of the messages before it loaded tc and this is what I get.

mount error(101): Network is unreachable

I will try a sleep command.

excellent, I added a sleep 10 at the start of /opt/bootlocal.sh

ok, now that the mkdir and mount commands are working on /opt/bootlocal.sh
I need to get transmission-daemon working the same way.

when I put the command "transmission-daemon" into the /opt/bootlocal.sh it loads it because I can see it when I use the command ps -a
however this is the message I get when I try to access it via web


403: Forbidden

Unauthorized IP Address.

Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.

If you're editing settings.json, see the 'rpc-whitelist' and 'rpc-whitelist-enabled' entries.

If you're still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details.


to fix this, I manually type "sudo kill ####" and then "transmission-daemon" this obviously defeats the purpose, however I do this so I know that the command is 100% working. what am I missing here?

and yes, whitelist is false - it's a simple restarting of the daemon that fixes it, maybe if there was a way to start and stop and start again in the /opt/bootlocal.sh

What does "transmission-daemon --help" show?

The reason I ask is that some daemons can be stopped by a command line switch - i.e. "-k" for kill. If this were the case then you could start, stop and re-start the daemon from bootlocal.sh

Another option would be to delete /var/run/transmission-daemon/*pid, if such a file exists, which would have the effect of killing the daemon.

Thanks Juanito

I will try this when I get home. I would like to think that I'm not the only one trying to start transmission from bootlocal.sh and having these issues.

No luck, there is no option to kill transmission-daemon other than finding out what the process number is... hmm.. maybe if we made a script to find the number and kill it so it can reload. (this is all presuming that the daemon can run before the os completely boots.

I'm experienced in writing batch scripts in windows but I do not know how to convert this to linux.

on a windows box I can do this.
for /f "skip=3 tokens=1,2" %a in ('tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq transmission.exe"') do (tskill %a && start transmission.exe)

so far on a linux box I can do this.
ps -a | grep transmission-daemon
