where is my bash script?

[Thomas Moersch]

I realize now that /root is only temporary until the next reboot.  I lost a pretty nice bash script.  Well, my own fault. I should have known better.  The root file system is a temp mount.

The question is this:

  - Where can I create custom scripts that will be accessible after a reboot?

I guess I could create a file system on one of the raided devices but that does not seem very elegant.

I noticed that the cron job is still there after the reboot. (... only the job it's pointing to is gone.)

Is /etc the place to put custom scripts?

I could make it /etc/bin/

Thanks in advance.

As Alt-F is not disk-based (it's stored and runs from flash-memory), you have to use the disk.

A small set of configuration files (the "settings") are also stored in flash-memory. For RC4 the list of files to store in flash memory can be extended, but as there are only 65KB (yes, KiloBytes) of flash-memory available for settings, you will have to be cautious.

Yes, *root* cronjobs are saved in "settings".

There is already the possibility of running a (disk-resident) script at boot time, Services->user, Configure.

Thank you, João.

I will use space on md0.  I created a little rsync job to back up all the photos stored on the NAS to an attached usb storage device.
