Find a command after reboot

[PerkelSimon]

Hi,

is it possible to know (see) if our command in startup script worked? I would like to see it
thanks

[frollic]

Dmesg?

Write something to a file in /tmp in your script?

[PerkelSimon]

something in rc.local

[lleachii]

@PerkelSimon

something in rc.

What is it?

(Are you going to inform us so we could better assist?)

Use "logger" to leave a message.

[lamelogin]

# cat /etc/rc.local 
#!/bin/ash

/usr/bin/logger "rc.local:  START"

# something, something


/usr/bin/logger "rc.local:  STOP"

[PerkelSimon]

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.

opkg install root luci-app-tgwireguard_1.0.2-1_all.ipk

exit 0

I just posted

@PerkelSimon

opkg install

I think you should give some background information...

Why do you have to keep reinstalling this IPK on each boot?

(This would destroy the flash over time.)

[PerkelSimon]

I make my own build, so once a week I make a new build and I have a custom ipk and I dont know why, everytimes I update my build, the tab in LuCi (myipk) disappears, so I have to install it again and again..

[lleachii]

If you are saying you install a new firmware every week, then simply add it to the pre-installed packages.

@PerkelSimon

and I have a custom ipk and I dont know why

I was gonna ask you about that IPK name.

[PerkelSimon]

@lleachii

If you are saying you install a new firmware every week, then simply add it to the pre-installed packages

I would like it, but I just have the ipk without the source.
I can upload it fromy files but there is no htdocs in it etc to compile it

[anomeome]

How are you getting the *.ipk into your weekly build.

How to include a custom ipk in a build

Hi, I have an ipk file downloaded from my vpn provider website and I need to include it in my build, is it possible? thanks

[lleachii]

@PerkelSimon

but I just have the ipk without the source.

• This woulda been a good time to note you already made a thread
• And you enjoy challenges by making new firmware every week

Let us know if the suggestions above about logging work. Cool setup!

@PerkelSimon

and I dont know why

"Because you download it from your VPN provider weekly."

[PerkelSimon]

I can't so I need to upload it after new build

[lleachii]

@PerkelSimon

I can't

You were told how:

How to include a custom ipk in a build

Follow this section in the wiki https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/use-buildsystem#custom_files Assuming you use the typical naming conventions for your buildroot host i.e. /home/user/openwrt: mkdir /home/user/openwrt/files mkdir /home/user/openwrt/files/root cp luci-app-tgwireguard_1.0.2-1_all.ipk /home/user/openwrt/files/root/ During your build, the luci-app-tgwireguard_1.0.2-1_all.ipk will be incorporated into your sysupgrade.bin and you will find the .ipk on your router…

It seems you also are double and triple posting. If you need help how - you should ask in that thread instead of this multi-thread thing.

@PerkelSimon

opkg install root luci-app-tgwireguard_1.0.2-1_all.ipk

opkg -d root install luci-app-tgwireguard_1.0.2-1_all.ipk

This is one of those cases where the right answer to "how?" is "why?"...

[lleachii]

@eduperez

This is one of those cases where

(From a PM, it seems that the OP may be confusing the terms "build" and "firmware". The thread in the Developers section began to describe how to include the IPK in the Image Builder - then proceeds to mentioned using rc.local in the installed firmware to continually re-install the package. I don't think the OP understands yet nor has conceived using the image builder - and hence confusion regarding the "adding of a custom IPK to the 'build'". Additionally, it doesn't help either that the OP seems to have abandoned the other thread because they "can't" seem to understand/succeed in making a custom Image with the Package included.)
