How to run script on startup

[Zosu]

Hi,
I have a script that I want to run on the camera on reboot. It runs fine when I manually execute it, but I cannot seem to get it to run automatically after a reboot. I've tried the suggestions in #571 but I still can't seem to get it to work. What's the right way to do this?

if you want it to run as part of the startup process place it /opt/wz_mini/etc/network.d and name it s99 or something like that so that it runs after everything else.

Thanks, that seems to do the trick!

@Zosu /opt/wz_mini/etc/rc.local.d works too and this directory is among "reserved" directories/files that survive after upgrade.
Source: upgrade-run.sh

echo "Backup user config"
cp /opt/wz_mini/wz_mini.conf /opt/Upgrade/preserve/
cp -r /opt/wz_mini/etc/configs /opt/Upgrade/preserve/
cp -r /opt/wz_mini/etc/ssh /opt/Upgrade/preserve/
cp -r /opt/wz_mini/etc/wireguard /opt/Upgrade/preserve/
cp -r /opt/wz_mini/etc/rc.local.d /opt/Upgrade/preserve/
cp -r /opt/wz_mini/etc/cron /opt/Upgrade/preserve/
cp -r /opt/wz_mini/etc/resolv.dnsmasq /opt/Upgrade/preserve/

Scripts in this directory run after network is connected, so it really depends on your use case to choose the right directory.
Source: wz-init.sh

#init.d/ = early boot, before inittab is run
#rc.d/ = runs after /linuxrc, but before app_init.sh
#network.d/ runs after app_init.sh, and after wlan hw is ready
#rc.local.d/ = runs after app_init.sh and network has acquired an address
