Bump.

I'm getting more requests for automatic installation of my packages.

Recently, the 123 smart BMS implemented an automatic install based on the update-data.sh mechanism described in my original post. But as indicated, this wipes out any existing rc.local which could be bad for other modifications using this hook to run programs at boot.

A simple addition to /etc/init.d/update-data.sh should have minimal impact to the system and be easy to accomplish:

update_data() {
    for dir in /media/*; do
        for suf in $ARCHIVE_SUF; do
            archive=$dir/$ARCHIVE_NAME.$suf
            if [ -f "$archive" ]; then
                echo "Updating /data with $archive"
                unpack "$archive" /data && return 0
            fi
        done

        # run auto-run script if present
        if [ -f "$dir/autoRun.sh" ]; then
            "$dir/autoRun.sh"
        fi
    done

The addition is shown in bold above

This change would allow automatic installation without stepping on rc.local or rcS.local.

This would be very helpfull as its nice to be able to send a customer a SDcard and they insert it and the script then runs whats needed

most customers do not have the know how nor are they inclined to do logons etc

Es würde auch mir sehr Helfen, da ich gerne GuiMods2 in meinem WoMo einsetzen würde und ich mich nicht, mit den vorhandenen Anleitungen, an eine Umsetzung traue. Es würde auch erst einmal Helfen eine bebilderte Anleitung oder ein Video der Installation im Netz zu finden.
