Hello All,
I have a script(rpi_user.sh) which has to be executed every time when I start my computer. But the startup script is not executing. Following are the steps which I have done. I am using systemd. I upgraded my system successfully today.
The script which I wanted to execute was very small and easy. I just creates a new file with the echoed text. Below is my script(rpi_user.sh)
cd /home/pi/
echo Jeffrey > 1
When ever I restart my system, I am not able to see the file '1'
I made the startup script(rpi_user.sh) and kept in /usr/bin. Also I followed the instruction in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … process.3F
Below shown in my service file (rpi_user.service)
[Unit]
Description=rpi_user
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rpi_user.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
After creating rpi_user.sh, I executed the following command to make the file executable - chmod +x rpi_user.sh
Once completing these steps, I executed the following commands (I got these info from http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.p … up-script)
# systemctl --system daemon-reload
# systemctl start rpi_user.service
# systemctl enable rpi_user.service
# systemctl status rpi_user.service
But things didn't go fine. When I ran "systemctl status rpi_user.service", I got the following error
rpi_user.service - rpi_user
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rpi_user.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun, 23 Sep 2012 03:29:08 +0530; 1min 33s ago
Main PID: 247 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/rpi_user.service
Sep 23 03:29:08 alarmpi systemd[247]: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/bin/rpi_user.sh: Exec format error
Could anyone of you answer the following questions.
1) Is there any thing wrong which I have done ? Is this the way to create startup scripts ?
2) Could you help me in fixing the issue - how can I make my starup script run ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jeffrey Antony

Are you using Arch Linux ARM? If so, you should ask for help with your Raspberry Pi on their forum: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewforum … 7e879cb1e3

Did you include
#!/bin/sh -
as the first line of your script?

@karol: I agree it is an raspberry pi. But once ArchLinux is installed, it doesnot make much difference whether it is an RaspberryPi or an Pentium machine. Thats the reason I posted the question here. But anyways I will post it in ArchRpi forum also.
@cfr: Yes. I have added #!/bin/sh. But the result is same. I get the same error. What is the need of "-" in "#!/bin/sh -" ? I didnot add "-".

Hello All,
The issue is fixed. After my restart things are working fine. I think I missed to add #!/bin/sh in the beginning of the script file.
@cfr: Special thanks for your suggestion.

Jeffrey

A book I read on shell scripting recommended this as one way of increasing the security of shell scripts as it prevents options being parsed as arguments. I doubt it matters here - I've just developed a habit of writing it that way.
