NAS540 - Troubleshooting email settings

Mijzelf

I don't understand what that simplifies for me regarding Entware

After installing MetaRepository, an Entware zypkg is available.

Ah, then I probably don't need it -- I already have Entware installed, I'm just not clear about how to ensure it's always in the path at startup. If I manually update the path in an SSH session then Entware seems to work -- I can run opkg, although I haven't installed anything yet.

And more generally, I'm not sure how to get other things (like my eventual goal, the email relay) up and running after reboots in the NAS environment of volatile mounts.

The line '/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start' will execute all scripts in /opt/etc/init.d/ with argument 'start'. This way you can start all kind of daemons you like.

I'm just not clear about how to ensure it's always in the path at startup.

I solved that for you, the package profile-hook_0.1_all.ipk installs a script in /opt/etc/init.d/ which injects code in /etc/profile to source /opt/etc/profile, but only for 'real' shells. (We don't want to disturb firmware scripts.)

I think you can install it using 'opkg install /path/to/local/copy/of/profile-hook_0.1_all.ipk', but of course you can also extract the script. An .ipk file is actually a .tar.gz

Awesome, thanks! Sounds like you've got me on the right path, I appreciate the help.
