Run script on boot?

ajs256 · 04-18-2022, 09:14 PM

Is there a way to run a script (either a shell script in /mnt/us or a KUAL app) on boot?

Context: My PW3's hall sensor is flaky, and I would like to be able to disable it as part of the boot process rather than have to disable it through KUAL every boot.

Moisture often accumulates at this sensor. See if there are any signs of corrosion around it. It is usually sufficient to wash it with isopropyl alcohol.

You can also disable the sensor by:

Code:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/wario_hall/wario_hall0/hall_enable

Just add such a line to one of the system scripts.

Which file? There's no /etc/rc.local, and @reboot directives in crontab don't work.

The boot files of the system are in the /etc/upstart directory. Try in the battery or display file. They start as one of the first.
