Published version on Readynas 6.1.1 beta under free apps and in the community dropbox is safe

It seems that BT Sync dosn't automatically start up with your NAS. At the moment you will have to manually start the service every time you reboot you NAS by opening putty and SSH into your readynas, and then entering ./btsync in the console

#! /bin/sh -e

# Make sure that the "DAEMON=" line below points to your btsync executable
# (e.g., if you unpacked btsync into your home directory: "DAEMON=~/btsync"),
# then save this script as /etc/init.d/btsync
#
# Then type these two commands (the first one makes the script executable,
# the second one makes the script run at startup/shutdown):
#
#   sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/btsync
#   sudo update-rc.d btsync defaults
#
# To start btsync without rebooting, type:
#
#   /etc/init.d/btsync start
#
# To stop it, type:
#
#   /etc/init.d/btsync stop

/etc/init.d/btsync stop

• As written, the script will not start BTSync with a configuration file (because I don't use one, and I've already spent too much time on this tonight).


• The script runs BTSync as root, which is fine, but just on general principles I would prefer it to run as an unprivileged user. Again, though, it's late here and I'm too tired to experiment with btsync and see whether it functions correctly when invoked that way. Maybe tomorrow.
