rc.d script not working as expected

[bobbis]

I have this https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=6073.msg25590#msg25590rc.d script, it starts while opnsense is booting and runs in the background after boot is complete, but it does nothing except beep, whats the last command in the command sequence.

If i start this script by hand like : "service mywlanpnp start", the script works as expected. Whats the problem that the script doesnt do anything except beep while it starts at boot?

Thanks

Well, it would have to be debugged, preferably with echo and sleep, assuming that this script is properly enabled in /etc/rc.conf ... but I can tell you that using "clog -f" in a non-interactive loop does not look correct. ;)

PS: Please paste the script in the thread, it's hard to help while switching browsers and scrolling in the "code" block.

Hi Franco,

i dont know if you understand me correctly, the script works fine if i start, from terminal, it with "service ServiceName start", the rc.d script also starts correctly while opnsense is booting, "ServiceName_enable=YES" in /etc/rc.conf.d/ServiceName.
the command sequence is for starting the device and set config settings for it are:

sleep 1
/sbin/sysctl net.wlan.devices | /usr/bin/cut -d ' ' -f2 | /usr/bin/grep -o run[0-9] > /dev/null && /usr/local/etc/rc.reload_interface
/usr/local/bin/beep
i tested the script by starting and stopping it by hand from terminal, everything works well doing so BUT if opnsense starts the script "ServiceName_enable=YES" then only an beep appears ... so i dont know where the error is located and i dont want to waste another days to get this running cause every reboot of my system takes around 5 minutes. so i found an another solution which works flawless.
thanks anyway

and here is the complete script again:
