Hi all,
Hopefully its an easy fix, I'm trying to start a bash script at startup that will run forever (while system is online).
I have a script, called statupdate
I have located it in /etc/init.d/
I have given it execute permissions
I have then put in a link to it under /etc/init.d/RC3.d/S99statupdate
This worked, but the system boot sequence never finished because the script started kept looping, preventing the system boot sequence to continue.
I then created another script called startupdate
that script simply started the main statupdate script. I tried with the following:
./statupdate &
OR
nohup ./statupdate &
I swapped out the S99statupdate with S99startupdate (and gave it execute permissions)
The exact same issue occured.
Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
Pazu
