Xperia-L init.d support - Sony Xperia L

To resolve boot-loop problem after installing Link2SD, I used Init.d Toggler to enable support for the same for my Xperia-L as I mentioned here.
What does Init.d Toggler do?
Appends the following command at the end of /system/etc/install_recovery.sh: /system/bin/sysinit
Creates /system/bin/sysinit script.
Creates /system/etc/init.d directory to put the start-up scripts in.
Just out of curiosity, I renamed the sysinit script, and dropped a script named testinitd inside /etc/init.d folder to test the native init.d support.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
LOG=/storage/sdcard0/initd.txt
echo `date` > $LOG
echo $PATH >> $LOG
To my surprise, /storage/sdcard0/initd.txt file is getting created every time I boot with appropriate contents filled in. I am on stock ROM (15.3A.1.14). Can anybody with a rooted phone please confirm my observation?

[KERNEL MOD] keytimer user setting script for mkasick Epic 4G keyboard patch

After having shared this on the #epic channel, I decided to share it here... This is for kernel devs who've incorporated mkasick's sysfs keyboard patch, located here.
This kernel mod and accompanying script are meant to be used in conjunction with mkasick's epic keyboard patch, and will perform the following:
1) Allow the kernel developer to easily choose the initial timer_delay value for the patch
2) Allow the end user to adjust the setting, and have it persist past boot
3) Checks user input for the setting, and not allow settings to occur that will make the keyboard unresponsive, or unusable
Files:
keytimer_initscript.sh
keytimer
Instructions for kernel devs:
1) Take the script inside keytimer_initscript.sh, and add it to your custom initscript called from init.rc
Note: place after the init.d section, or theimpaler747 script will overwrite the keytimer script.
2) Place the keytimer script inside your initramfs /sbin
Instructions for users:
1) Have a kernel with this mod inside, like mine:
DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.02.zip
Note: Other kernel devs have this now, so it should come to your favorite kernel soon!
Also: If your current kernel has the mkasick sysfs keyboard patch, but not my kernel mod, you can take the keytimer script, and place it /system/xbin, and chmod 755 /system/xbin/keytimer. Without my kernel mod, the setting won't persist through a reboot, but it will give you an easy way to change the setting.
2) Open Connectbot or Android Terminal, and type su
3) type command: keytimer
it will show usage and the current value, the default is 7.
example use to change to theimpaler747 value of 5:
keytimer 5
Accepted values are 1 through 16.
The change will be immediate, and will persist after reboot.
Hope you all like this one, enjoy it!

Good job DRockstar ....This is saweet
good **** DRockstar....i already have it commited to my source for the next version
keep up the good work!
OK, links fixed, with code also posted.
Posted instructions for those who just want to use keytimer script, in case your favorite kernel doesn't have the keytimer mod installed yet, but has the keyboard patch installed.
Thanks to Rodderik for server space, after fossnet server got toasted.
Peace!
I'm pleased that folks are making good use of the sysfs patch, and making the user-side keytimer configuration much more approachable and useful. Thanks for doing this, it means a lot.

Sorry for asking this noob question but I just want to clarify. This is the stock Kernel with mkasicks fix to allow for the keyboard tweaks correct?
Nothing else is different about the kernel? If so, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Updated the kernel download to v1.02... which fixed some apps like metamorph not working with the location I set for busybox.
I need to make a post for the kernel now... sources are now posted at github.com/DRockstar.
to answer the previous question, yes, this kernel is intended to be a simple rooted kernel, based off samsung stock, with only simple mods ... its feature are:
* Root and busybox with minimal system mods
* designed to allow OTA update after flashing back the stock kernel
* mkasick sysfs keyboard patch, with my keytimer script
* voodoo sound 7 by supercurio, controlled by voodoo control app in android market
* additonal custom scripts in /sbin for cleaning root, busybox, and flash kernels and recoveries
This kernel was built to replace the traditional one click root method for my all in one root and recovery script.

[DEV][SCRIPT] Enhanced init.d support

Okay, I worked a bit on something to add a little more options to init.d scripts for my ROM's. I came up with the below solution and thought I should share it with whomever would like a bit more options in their own ROM's. This is a first draft so some of things can properly be done in other ways, but it works and it does add a lot more options when building startup scripts while it is compatible with regular init.d scripts as well. But fell free to pitch in with ideas if you like.
Note that this thread is directed to ROM cookers, but can be used by anyone that knows how to edit ramdisk's.
So there are several problems with the regular init.d methods. First of all there are two different ways of executing the scripts and it differs from ROM to ROM which method has been implemented. We have the "exec /system/bin/sysinit" which will execute all of the scripts before continuing with the normal boot and we have the service sysinit which will execute all scripts while the normal boot is running. Both are useful for different things but no ROM has both.
Also init.d will just start executing the scripts before/during the normal boot, depended on the method, but what if we need it to execute something at a specific time during boot. Before folder structures and such are created in /data? Or when the phone has completely booted into the GUI. Or before the phone is turned off and so on.
This method will implement different states where different parts of a script can be executed depended on where in the boot process we are. All it requires is a more extended sysinit file and a couple of extra lines in the init.rc file.
File: /init.rc

sleep 1

To use this you need to end the names of your init script with .rc like "55<name>.rc" instead of just "55<name>". This is to keep it compatible with regular init.d scripts.
This will allow you to build init.d scripts like this
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
case $1 in
onstart)
# Do something right after the system partition has been mounted RW (No other partitions at this time)
;;
onfs)
# Do something right after the rest of partitions has been mounted and system has been remounted RO, before any of them are used or changed in any way.
;;
onpostfs)
# This is almost the same as onfs, only minor changes has normally been made here
;;
onpostfsdata)
# Do something after the /data partition has been rebuild with folders, permission, ownership and so on
;;
onboot)
# Do something right before Android starts booting and it's services are triggered
;;
onsysinit)
# Do something while Android is booting. This will NOT stall the boot process but run along side it
;;
onpostsysinit)
# Do something as soon as onsysinit has finished
;;
onfinalize)
# Do something when the system is almost booted, this also includes the sysinit parts above
;;
onservice)
# Do some constant work in the background (Service/Daemon)
;;
oncomplete)
# Do something when the phone is fully booted and the boot animation is gone
;;
onshutdown)
# Do something before the phone is turned off or rebooted
;;
esac
EDIT 1
Added 'onfinalize' which is actually the old oncomplete. The new oncomplete runs as a service like onsysinit and onpostsysinit to ensure that you are able to use things like "sleep" without stalling the system.
Rewrote sysinit, much cleaner now
EDIT 2
Added 'onservice' which can be used to run a constant task in the background after the phone has booted
Great concept and great work
I can see how this would be very handy!

'something' is correct, have been changed
Some examples would be good
Can you please? (Example of Executing Juwe's RAM script will be nice in all cases)
What if I want to keep init.d folder empty and integrate my scripts inside boot.img? and then execute them inside it?

Why would you integrate scripts into the boot.img? The point of init.d is to be able to add things to boot without changing the boot.img. If you want to execute things from within the boot.img, then just place your scripts in it (sbin would be a good place) and execute it the same way my example executes /system/bin/sysinit.
And as for examples, it's easy. Just place your code in that section (onboot, onfs etc) where you want the code to be executed. The onboot is the default in process in most ROM's and also where regular init.d scripts is executed in this example.

because the point of this is to start scripts when you want.. there is a few scripts I have that can't be ran until os is loaded, there for making this a great setup for me.
init.d & boot.img runs everything at boot... not after boot.

The 'oncomplete' runs everything when the system is fully loaded, that's the point of this init.d system, to be able to run scripts in different ways during different stages.

yeah I got it..... I've been having one hell of a time starting script until I cam across this...
If it starts like a normal init.d file it hangs the boot process... with this edit I can trigger it to run on bootcomplete with out hanging the service

Yes oncomplete, oninit and onservice will not stall the process, oninit will however stall onfinalize, oncomplete and onservice. onservice will run the script in a seperate process in the background, so that will not even stall the rest of the init.d scripts while executing, making that great for scripts that should keep running, or where you don't know how long they should run.

Adding this into all my boot.img from now on & I'll be sure to link this thread...
I think this should be the new standard for all Devs, this method is not only a great idea!
But for the End User, there's so much more control over what can / should be done on starting process...
I personally want to thank you for this, as this truely is one of the better methods I've ever seen!!

dk_zero-cool, I'd like to ask you, why you use soft-links and not parameters?
It will remove all
Code:
symlink /system/bin/sysinit /system/bin/sysinit.*
from init.rc and you will not need to use case in sysinit.
Because this whole construction:
Code:
case $(basename $0) in
"sysinit") INIT_STATE="$1" ;;
*) INIT_STATE="`basename $0 | cut -d '.' -f2`" ;;
esac
seems to me like overload.

Because I have had bad experience using arguments along with the exec command, so I try to avoid that. Mostly because I can't remember the issues anymore.
As for overload, this is to small to be noticed, specially when this is only executed a couple of times during startup. If this was to be executed every couple of minute during the phone on state, then sure. But when the phone has booted, sysinit is no longer used.
Pretty neat design. I've found that having to deal with some of the escaping of an exec can be a nightmare too.
In the kernel ramdisk of my Xperia ray, there are two kinds of inits, init.rc and init.semc.rc.
The "on fs" exists in init.semc.rc (where i can see the commands to mount the partitions). In init.rc there's no "on fs" between "on early-fs" and "on post-fs".
So i've put the "on fs"-part in init.semc.rc and the rest of your fabulous work into init.rc. When i look after booting into the /system/bin/ directory i can see all the "sysinit.on........." symlinks. Is that proof that i did everything right so far? Haven't tried any script yet to be honest.

Yes some phones have extra init files for onfs. Mostly if they use different file system types. What you did is correct in this case.
You can check the file /sysinit.stages.prop to see if all stages was executed. If one stage is missing from that file, it was not executed.

[HOW-TO] Fix when the phone stuck in boot splash after apply V6 Supercharger

You may have applied V6 Supercharger to your phone. And after reboot, you stuck at the boot splash. Reboot once and V6 Supercharger install script tell you that you aren't supercharged. Here is how to fix it. (If you get looped in boot animation, this is NOT your fix. Sorry!)
Depend on your rom, you may have to do one of following:
Open the (rooted) File Manager, open the directory /etc/init.d/ and open file 99SuperCharger. OR
Turn on ADB on your phone, use your computer to pull the file /etc/init.d/99Supercharger by running
Code:
adb pull /etc/init.d/99SuperCharger
Edit the file at the almost bottom of the file, change the following code:
Code:
if [ "`ps | grep -m 1 [a]ndroid`" ]; then HellzYeah;
else HellzYeah &; fi;
To look like this:
Code:
if [ "`ps | grep -m 1 [a]ndroid`" ] || [ $1 = "bypass" ]; then HellzYeah;
else
rm $bootloopcookie
$0 bypass &
fi;
Depend on what you have done on step 1, do the following:
If you use (root) file manager, save the file. Grant the superuser permission if needed. Then browse to /data and delete file !!SuperChargerBootLoopMessage.log. Don't worry if it's not exist.
If you use your computer to edit your file, run the following command:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
abd push /path/of/99SuperCharger /etc/init.d/99SuperCharger
adb shell
And inside the adb shell, run:
Code:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/99SuperCharger
rm /data/!!SuperChargerBootLoopMessage.log
exit
Don't worry if file /data/!!SuperChargerBootLoopMessage.log doesn't exist.
And that's it! The V6 Supercharger bootscript is worked as it's designed to. Thanks to zeppelinrox to make this great script.
For one who want to know some technical info (and my assumption of the cause), wait me until tomorow and i'll explain how i found it. read on:
In order to run script in /etc/init.d at boot, the line like this is inserted in init.rc:
Code:
on boot
...
# Start the init.d service
exec /system/bin/sysinit
(In case of cm - for example)
But, what does the /system/bin/sysinit do? Just this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
/system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/run-parts /system/etc/init.d
And this is the real source of problem. For some reason run-parts with logwrapper doesn't move on when you run a shell script function in background. If you scroll up in file 99SuperCharger, you'll found that "HellzYeah" is actually a function. And when it's execute in a boot process, "HellzYeah" will wait for boot process to continue. But run-parts (and the whole boot process) is waiting for the script to finish. You see? A deadlock!
The workaround is to execute function in the other way. What my modification do is re-executing the script with the parameter "bypass" in the background. This way, run-parts will not wait for it anymore. Then, when the script is re-executed, it will detect that it's called with the parameter "bypass". It'll run the function "HellzYeah", wait for boot process to finish, and, when the boot process is finished, supercharge your phone!
(if anyone is reading this, please inform zeppelinrox about this problem. I'm not able to post on the development forum yet.)
(This is my first post in xda. Hopefully it's helpful)

[MOD][SCRIPTS] Boot Script Utilities

About this thread
In this thread i will post my work on a init.d like support for stock rom which i call "Boot Script Utilities".
This work was developed for personal use and for my personal purposes.
If you do not like to use it please do not.

Just to be clear
I am not responsible for whatever happens to your phone.
Some Info
What is init.d?
Init.d is a folder located in "/system/etc/init.d/", but not all roms have his folder (stock rom don't have the folder).
What is special with this folder is that any script inside this folder will run on phone boot.
Why to run scripts on boot?
On boot many system variables are initiated before any application run, so you can make automatic tweaks on every boot.
ex. Swap external storage to internal.

I developed a similar support in order to implement some more features.
This do not means that this is a better way to roon scripts on boot.
What do i need?
A rooted Samsung Galaxy Core (I used I8260, for how to root search the forum)
A good root explorer (well Root Explorer worked)
A recovery with backup/restore support (to backup your rom in case you soft brick your phone)
What we will do?
We will edit a system file to run a script i wrote. This script will run all scripts (or not all read more below) inside /system/etc/init.d/ folder.
Step 0 - Backup your rom
Boot into your recovery and make a backup.
Step 1 - init.d folder
Create a directory on "/system/etc/" and name it "init.d".
So now directory "/system/etc/init.d/" exist.
Step 2 - Boot Script Utilities main script
Copy "init.bsu.boot.sh" file (link on the end of the post) in "/system/etc/".
So now file "/system/etc/init.bsu.boot.sh" exist.
Step 3 - Edit system file, run Boot Script Utilities
The system file we will edit is "/system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh"
Insert this code on the bottom of the script
Code:
# Run Boot Script Utilities
# For galaxy core stock rom
# by DarkThanos
/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.bsu.boot.sh > /data/tmp/init.bsu.log 2>&1 &
Step 4 - Ready
Insert your scripts inside "/system/etc/init.d/" and whey will run on boot.

Boot Script Utilities features
Disable all scripts
If file "/system/etc/init.d/disabled" exist no script will run.
Disable scripts
Any script named like "*.disabled" or "*.disabled.sh" will not run.
ex. "/system/etc/init.d/testscript.disabled.sh" will not run.
Run scripts asynchronous
Any script named like "*.async" or "*.async.sh" will run asynchronous.
ex. "/system/etc/init.d/testscript.async.sh" will run asynchronous.
Scripts run order
Scripts run in name order.
Log on every boot
All scripts results-errors output (stdout/stderr) will be printed on "/data/tmp/init.bsu.log"

It does not really matters from where the script is called.
The script first checks if boot is completed, if not it sleeps for 2 seconds.
(so you need to call the script after boot, or before but asynchronous)
Code:
# Get boot complete state
isBootCompleted=`getprop dev.bootcomplete`
# Wait For boot complete event
# Probably useless unless script called from other file
while [ "$isBootCompleted" -ne '1' ]
do
# Wait and check again
sleep 2
# Check if boot completed
isBootCompleted=`getprop dev.bootcomplete`
done
The next step is to check if "/system/etc/init.d/disabled" file exist.
If it do not exist, it will run all not disabled scripts inside "/system/etc/init.d/".
It will check every file inside and analyze its name so it knows if the script is disabled or asynchronous.
Code:
# Create a init.d Support
# Implement /system/etc/init.d/ folder
# Check if init.d is disabled
# If /system/etc/init.d/disabled file exist, then init.d is disabled
if [[ ! -f /system/etc/init.d/disabled ]]
then
echo "[$manager_name] Initiating init.d scripts"
# Run every script on init.d folder
for scriptfile in /system/etc/init.d/*
do
if test -f "$scriptfile"
then
# Get script name
scriptname=$(basename $scriptfile)
# Check if script is disabled
# ex1 : 'testscript.sh.disabled' is disabled
# ex1 : 'testscript.disabled.sh' is disabled
echo "$scriptname" | grep -q -E '\.(disabled|disable\.sh)$'
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "[$manager_name] Script $scriptname is disabled"
else
# check if script is asynchronous
# ex1 : 'testscript.sh.async' is asynchronous
# ex2 : 'testscript.async.sh' is asynchronous
echo "$scriptname" | grep -q -E '\.(async|async\.sh)$'
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "[$manager_name] Run Script $scriptname asynchronous"
/system/bin/sh "$scriptfile" | script_log &
else
echo "[$manager_name] Run Script $scriptname"
/system/bin/sh "$scriptfile" | script_log
fi
fi
fi
done
else
echo '[$manager_name] init.d is disabled'
fi
That's all.
Please suggest any fixes or any improvements by messaging me.
Thanks for your time.

This script wait for your external sd card to be mounted and swap it with internal if it is bigger.
One minute after boot it will stop waiting.
(Fastest swap method I found)

Swap internal sd with external (if external>internal)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[Dev Doc]
The script first creates 2 directories to mount external sd and internal sd,
so that it can distinguish them from each other ("/data/sd_cards/internal/", "/data/sd_cards/external/").
Code:
# Mount root rw
mount -o remount,rw /
# Create directory to mount sd cards
# Make directory to save cards
mkdir -p /data/sd_cards
# Make directory to save internal
mkdir -p /data/sd_cards/internal
# Make directory to save external
mkdir -p /data/sd_cards/external
In the next step, the script waits for an external sd to be mounted.
This wait time is the reason why the script is better to be asynchronous.
The script checks every 5 seconds for an external sd, but after 1 minute (12 tries) it stops.
Code:
# Wait for external sd card to be mounted
# Max wait time is 1 minute
maxWaitTime=60
# While external Sd Card has 0 Capacity
while [[ $(du -s /storage/extSdCard | awk '{print $1}') == "0" && $maxWaitTime>0 ]]
do
# Check again in 5 seconds
sleep 5
# Count down max wait time
maxWaitTime=maxWaitTime-5
done
As soon as an external sd is mounted, the script mounts the external sd on "/data/sd_cards/external/"
and the internal on "/data/sd_cards/internal/".
Code:
# Save mount points on folders
# Mount bind internal SD in folder /data/sd_cards/internal
mount -o bind /storage/sdcard0 /data/sd_cards/internal
# Mount bind external SD in folder /data/sd_cards/external
mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other /dev/block/vold/179:33 /data/sd_cards/external
So now the real internal sd can be found in the directory "/data/sd_cards/internal/"
and the real external sd can be found in the directory "/data/sd_cards/external/".
The reason we do this is to be able to make a script swap them again.
Then it checks the size of each, so that it knows if it ia worthing of swapping them.
Code:
# Get sd cards sizes
internalSdSize=$(du -s /storage/sdcard0 | awk '{print $1}')
externalSdSize=$(du -s /storage/extSdCard | awk '{print $1}')
If external sd is bigger, then on "/storage/sdcard0/" we mount "/data/sd_cards/external/"
and on "/storage/extSdCard/" we mount "/data/sd_cards/internal/".
Code:
# Swap sd cards
# If external sd card is bigger than internal swap
if [ $externalSdSize -gt $internalSdSize ]
then
# Swap
mount -o bind /data/sd_cards/internal /storage/extSdCard
mount -o bind /data/sd_cards/external /storage/sdcard0

This script optimize applications' database using sqlite3 (Vacuum/Reindex) every 5 boots or 5 days.
On any other boot it optimize only databases of phone, contacts, mms and settings .
Before use make a folder "libs" inside "/system/etc/init.d/",
insert the "sqlite3" file inside and give it execute permissions (the file is given with the script)
Bugs: (Its safe for use, its a warning not an error)
Contacts database is always locked, so can't be optimized.

Script first initiate some variables
(path to Sqlite lib, path to a folder to save scripts data, minimum time between optimizes)
Code:
# Some variables
# SQLite path
sql_lib="/system/etc/init.d/libs/sqlite3";
# Data folder path
data_folder="/data/boot_scripts_data/";
# Data counter file name
data_file_counter="sql_optimize_counter";
# Data last run file name
data_file_lastrun="sql_optimize_lastrun";
# Max time between optimizes (in sec)
# 5 days = $(expr 5 \* 24 \* 60 \* 60 )
max_time_dif=432000
Check how many boots passed since last optimize
and when the last optimize was by reading scripts data.
Code:
# Create data folder if not exist
mkdir -p "$data_folder"
# Get data from files
# Run Counter
if [[ ! -f "$data_folder$data_file_counter" ]]
then
# File do not exist
touch "$data_folder$data_file_counter"
echo "0" > "$data_folder$data_file_counter"
runCount="0"
else
runCount=$(cat $data_folder$data_file_counter)
fi
# Last run date
if [[ ! -f "$data_folder$data_file_lastrun" ]]
then
# File do not exist
touch "$data_folder$data_file_lastrun"
echo "0" > "$data_folder$data_file_lastrun"
lastRun=0
else
lastRun=$(cat $data_folder$data_file_lastrun)
fi
If boots passed since last optimize equals with 5 or last optimized more than 5 days before,
then make a full database optimization.
Code:
# Check if its time for optimize
if [ $(( $(date +%s) - $lastRun )) -ge $max_time_dif -o $runCount -ge 5 ]; then
echo "Full mode optimize"
# Save data
echo "0" > "$data_folder$data_file_counter"
echo $(date +%s) > "$data_folder$data_file_lastrun"
# Optimize /data/
optimize_folder "/data/"
echo "All applications' databases were optimized"
Else make a light optimize.
(only phone, contacts, mms and settings)
Code:
else
echo "Light mode optimize"
# Save data
echo $((runCount+1)) > "$data_folder$data_file_counter"
# Only for Galaxy Core
# Count databases optimized
count=0
# phone optimize
optimize_folder "/data/data/com.android.phone/databases/"
# contacts optimize
optimize_folder "/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/"
# mms optimize
optimize_folder "/data/data/com.android.mms/databases/"
# email optimize
optimize_folder "/data/data/com.android.mms/databases/"
# settings optimize
optimize_folder "/data/data/com.android.settings/databases/"
echo "Important databases were optimized"
fi;
Optimize functions
Code:
# Some functions
# Optimize db
optimize_db(){
# Vacuum and then reindex
$sql_lib $1 'VACUUM;';
$sql_lib $1 'REINDEX;';
#echo $(basename $1)" was optimized."
}
# Optimize every db on folder
optimize_folder(){
local path=$1
count_result=0;
find $path -type f -iname "*.db" -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' database; do
optimize_db $database
done
#echo "Databases inside $path were optimized."
}
Use the sqlite binary to VACUUM and REINDEX the given database.

This script zipalign applications' apk (only the apks that are not already zipaligned) on every boot.
First boot may take a while.
Before use make a folder "libs" inside "/system/etc/init.d/",
insert the "zipalign" file inside and give it execute permissions (the file is given with the script)
Bugs:(Not for use, more testing needed)
Some apps return an error after zipaligned, and need to be reinstalled.
(Found fix. Zipaligned apk do not holds read rights after copy. Command "cp -p" do not hold permissions. Temp fix "chmod 644". [I need help with that])
A download will be posted when it is stable.

Is "cat" a good alternative?
Also, should I use "chmod 644 $apk;"? "cp -p" do not work and I am pretty sure the script has root rights.

Download the "init.bsu.boot" script (from first post). Create the "/system/etc/init.d/" folder. And run the script (from your download folder) using Script Manager (do not forget to enable "su"). Then check "/data/tmp/init.bsu.log" (open as text) and see the log.
This is an easy safe test.
You can also make a test script, like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Test Script
echo "This will be on log."
(You can read the script codes too, I have many comments.)

Init Script and File Copy

I've added a simple shell script to my Z5 (Stock 5.1.1) as an init service. The scipt is intended to simply copy a file to the sdcard. I can see that my script is run on init, that it verifies the source file exists, but the cp command returns 1. dmesg output shows selinux write denials, but it selinux is in permissive mode.
Manually executing the script works fine, and I know the service is executing. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but so far this has eluded me. Any help would be appreciated.
script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
if [ -e /system/path/myfile ]
then
log -p i -t MYSTUFF "copy file"
cp /system/path/myfile /sdcard/myfile
log -p i -t MYSTUFF "Returned: ${?}"
fi
service setup
Code:
service my-service /system/path/myscript.sh
class myclass
user root
group root
oneshot
