Local Startup is just /etc/rc.local. A one-liner script won't work from there because there is no shell interpreter, it just launches commands.
I would rewrite this as regular script file and place it somewhere in the router filesystem (with execute permission set) then reference it from startup.
It might work to dispatch the code to sh like this: echo 'one-liner code' | sh
Thank you guys for your help. I'm very casual user of OpenWRT and would not know who to implement your suggestions. I'll run the command in ssh to test whatever performance it might or might offer and re-evaluate then.
