Startup scripts, where to put them?

For 2 - Try using update-rc.d to create the rc.d links - simple explanation here

Thanks! I'll try that soon

Hi there!

First of all, I do not know if this is right board of forums here for my questions, so if it is must not be here - please move it in right place. Thank you in advance!

I faced a problem in my tries to setup one script to be executed at every boot.

Let me explain: I am working at one factory, where the DB backup is ~30GB. We are using two devices - NV+ and Duo. It is done every day at 2~3.00 AM and ReadyNas Duo is set to copy backup file after 3.00 AM once a day, which is done approximately around 5~6.00 AM (our network is 100 Mb and is disabled aggresive mode with MTU 1492). Disc capacity of Duo is ~450GB, so after 12-13 copied backups, I am receiving email for disk usage warning. If I didn't take action, after 14-th file there is not possibility to save data, and files are broken. My target is to save last 7 backups - there is no option for this in FrontView - if I am wrong, please, correct me. So my solution was to create script, which make this, what I want and I am starting it via SSH every time, when I received a disk warning email.

Last three days I have tried to install the file as a service (without breaking loop) - in /etc/init.d and after that to execute update-rc.d command:

update-rc.d /etc/init.d/dUADB start 90 2 3 4 5 . stop 90 0 1 6 .

dUADB file:

#!/bin/bash

declare i daysSave=7;
declare i cnt=0;

for ((;;))
do

for file in `ls -t /c/AtlasDB_bkp/*`;
do
	if [ $cnt -lt $daysSave ];
	then
		echo $file;
	else
		rm $file;
	fi
	
	let '++cnt';
done

break;
sleep 3600;

done

In both of tries, the system have failed (after restart, only power button was blinking) and was necessary to being reinstalled OS or factory default-ed the device. :)

Is there something wrong in my steps, in my script?
