Alternative line 25 I had tried: /mnt/us/kindlepdfviewer/reader.lua "$1" 2> crash.log
- - - - -

And the first line of reader.lua:

#!./koreader-base

Ref: https://github.com/koreader/kindlepd...ter/reader.lua

And the first line of koreader-base:

#!./luajit

Ref: https://github.com/koreader/koreader.../koreader-base

Which ends with:

if not arg[1] then
	error("you must give the name of the main lua executable as the first argument")
end
local file = arg[1]
table.remove(arg, 1)

ARGV=arg

dofile(file)

Note that the error test only tests for the presence of an argument, not if it makes any sense in the context that the script is called.

So, what are you passing as arg[1]?
Does it include a full path to the file?
