startup/boot list with conditions [updated]

[Raspimina]

Hi to all the community
How can i full mange the startup list o rasbian distribution?

I know the manage with: init.d and update-rc
Are there other ways?

On the BOOT situation raspberry must upload some files over ftp connection on running "/opt/upload/upload" script.
On the HALT situation raspberry must delete some files on running "/opt/delete/delete" script.

This raspberry boot with auto connect on sakis3g and need to run the "/opt/upload/upload" script.
I want to start upload script only when sakis3g connection is established, haw can i manage this?

how can i be sure that my upload script will be execute at last command? (when the raspberry is full "UP" and 3G connected with sakis3g)
I ask for the simplest (easy to manage) solution



the full situation is:
1-raspberry POWER ON
2-auto mount USB drive on specific folder
3-auto connect via sakis3g on 3G network
4-auto connect with hamachi
5-(LAST STEP I WANT) run "upload" script that will upload on FTP connection the USB mount folder (on point 2)


thanks

i found a solution that works.

the script now has a longer sleep (90s) so im sure it runs when sakis3g is connected.
its so composed:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/upload

Code: Select all

#*********************************************************
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/upload

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          upload
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Simple script to start a program at boot
# Description:       A simple script which will start / stop a program a boot / shutdown.
### END INIT INFO


case "$1" in
  start)
    sleep 90
    echo "Upload to FTP"
    # run application you want to start
    sudo /opt/upload/upload
    ;;
  stop)
    echo "Terminate process, also not necessary"
    # kill application you want to stop
    
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/upload {start|stop}"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0
#*********************************************************

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/upload
sudo /etc/init.d/upload start
sudo /etc/init.d/upload stop
sudo update-rc.d upload defaults


this script runs one other script:
-> sudo /opt/upload/upload

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t vfat -o uid=pi,gid=pi /dev/sda1 /data
find /data -type f -exec curl -u ftpuser:ftppasswrd --ftp-create-dirs -T {} ftp://ftpurl/{} \;
rm -r /data/* -f -v

it works, but i want to add more "intelligence".
how can manage the last part of the script: rm -r /data/* -f -v
i want do execute it only if the ftp upload process it's all fine. How can i set conditions?

thanks

Any suggestion?

You can set dependencies in the LSB headers.

Code: Select all

# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
