Custom init.rc script

[apowers313]

In init.rc, would it be possible to add a call to /system/bin/boot.sh or import /system/etc/init/init.rc to give users a hook into the boot process? It would make tinkering so much easier than having to modify the ROM to add new scripts to boot-up.

Hi apowers313,

Please use TinkerOS_Android V13.12.0.43 image and you could use below command to push init.asus.sh that can do hook the boot process.

adb root
adb remount
adb push init.asus.sh /system/etc/init.asus.rc

Thanks for the quick reply. I dropped this in to /system/etc/init.asus.rc:

on init
     export SYSTEMRC yes

However, after the system boots SYSTEMRC isn't set (as demonstrated by echo $SYSTEMRC). I've also tried /system/etc/init/init.rc, /vendor/etc/init/init.rc, and other various locations that the Android docs say should work, but so far none have worked. Also, dmesg doesn't show any errors (at least not related to this :) ).

Dear apowers313,

We will check this internally and let you know the result.

Dear apowers313,

Sorry for my typo, /system/etc/init.asus.rc should be corrected as /system/etc/init.asus.sh

Ex:
adb push init.asus.sh /system/etc/init.asus.rc

About export variables in init.asus.sh shell script issue
Because a shell script runs in a child shell process, and only children of the child shell would inherit the export, so you can't do export variable through shell script.
