run before the mountall script, /tmp was probably not mounted yet
(assuming it's in a separate partition).
I didn't modify the script I'm interested, I just created a test script in /etc/rcS.d and named it S01atest.sh, so this script will the first script to be run on boot. /tmp is not in a separate partition in my case.
Also, there's a script that cleans up /tmp and /var/tmp; make sure
you're not running before that one either.
You could try sending the output somewhere else as well. /var/log comes
to mind
In my case /var is in a separate partition, so /var/log is available? I found the very preceding scripts in /etc/rcS.d such as S02mountkernfs.sh already use the /var directory.
