############################# Install TriggerCMD-Agent ############################
cd /mnt

Get Mount point

mount

ubi:rootfs_ubifs on / type ubifs (ro,relatime)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /var type tmpfs (rw,noexec,relatime,size=420k)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
mtd:bootfs on /bootfs type jffs2 (ro,relatime)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
mtd:data on /data type jffs2 (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/mtdblock8 on /jffs type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda1 on /tmp/mnt/Backup+Hub type ext4 (rw,nodev,relatime,stripe=8191,data=ordered)

Your mount point is usually dev/sda1

on my router /dev/sda1 on {/tmp/mnt/Backup+Hub}

Now we need to change to the directory returned by you mount command ( not Mine)

cd /tmp/mnt/Backup+Hub

Now lets make a "gitrepo" directory

mkdir gitrepo

Now change to that directory

cd gitrepo

Now lets clone the from Github. -# https://github.com/rvmey/TRIGGERcmd-Agent.git #-

git clone https://github.com/rvmey/TRIGGERcmd-Agent.git

Now install Agent dependencies

cd to TriggerCMD agent

cd TRIGGERcmd-Agent

Now udate dependcy files

FreshN Fruity

AHOY, Steve F! I'm loving your instruction set, but I had a few questions for you.

First off, were you on an older version of OpenWRT when you wrote this? Some of the filepaths are different for me on 18.06.4.

Next, did you intend to embed emoji in your startup script, or is that supposed to be "*)" or something as hovering over it suggests? I assume the latter and would hazard a guess that this forum converts it to an emoticon. I'm just about to finish up with that and see whether TRIGGERcmd starts at boot.

Finally, I understand the filename suggests that S30* should start with a priority level 30, but my router running 18.06.4 is trying to run it as priority level 1. Nowadays I think OpenWRT uses symlinks to set priority according to a couple of lines within an init script itself, so using classic filenames to set priority without indicating within the file itself the priority with which the script should be executed does not work.

Once again, thank you!
