Help - my rc.sysinit.author has gone wonky

[philatio]

Been using TivoWeb 1.9.4 for years with no probs. Tivoweb loaded automatically at boot.

The other day I tried upgrading to TWP.
Got it working but had trouble with digiguide module and other bits.. so abandoned and went back to Tivoweb 194 which was still installed.

Now TW works fine.. but has stopped autoloading on boot. I must have messed up my rc.sysinit.author somehow.

Here it is. It's CHMODed to 755.
Any ideas whats wrong?


#!/bin/bash
/var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb

/autospace/autospace.tcl start >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Could do with a "&" after the tivoweb command.

Can I bump this.
Still having the problem.

My rc.sysinit.author file is as above, in the right place and CHMOD to 755.

Yet on a reboot, neither Tivoweb or Autospace load up. I have to telnet in and boot them up manually by command line.
Its not the end of the world.. but it's a bit of a pain.

Is there any reason that my rc.sysinit.author file is being ignored by the TiVo ??

I suspect that you have DOS line endings in there, not Unix ones - that's why you're seeing the blank line between the commands.

Try creating the file again - but on TiVo this time.

Thought it might be useful to mention metapad (http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/), a nice powerful text editor for PC, that can save in Unix format. I use it for editing TiVo files before ftping them back.

It's a matter of personal preference, but I like Notepad2 (http://www.notepad2.com/) for editing TiVo text files on my PC.

While I prefer www.textpad.com :)
