I have written a simple bash script:
#!/bin/bash
echo "hi" > log
exit 0
made it executable and its successfully running. I edited my rc.local to the following:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
/home/katph/test.sh
exit 0
rc.local is executable:
/$ ls -l /etc/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 349 Aug 1 13:19 /etc/rc.local
What's working:
1.I directly put echo "hi" > /home/katph/log
in rc.local, it works fine.Meaning rc.local runs at startup.
2.If I manually run rc.local with the script, log file is created correctly.
Any suggestion? I'm running Kubuntu14.04.
bash -x /etc/rc.local
, do you see any action?
