That's the infamous placebo effect.
Put this
Code:
echo "YourScript_xyz_Name was here! @`date`" >>/data/initd.log
after the first line of all of your scripts. It should read somthing like
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
... check "/data/initd.log" after a reboot, what it is telling you.

Oh. Well, if the permissions aren't meant to be executed at boot, then I'm guessing they're right just the way they are?

There are four methods, which I'm currently aware off, how you can edit your scripts in init.d:
adb pull, edit, adb push;
browse with a file manager and edit it with the internal editor;
busybox vi YourScript_xyz_Name;
some fancy scripting with shell tools like sed, awk, ...
(The order is from simple to most advanced. ... )

A script's permission are set as soon as you flash them. Some are meant to launch at boot and some under specific conditions.

If the script not launch at boot, u can check on terminal that the script is not working

TIA!
