Re: boot scripts
This adds the script nicely, but it fails to start the script with a "Unable
to start /usr/bin/firewall.sh: Exec format error"
The script can be started manually from the command line with "firewall.sh
start" I should point out that this is just a plain text file with iptable
rules. It has no code. It is 755 like the other files and can be executed
manually, but it will not start at boot.
What am I doing wrong, and thanks for the tip. This looks to be a clean way of
maintaining custom scripts.
