[resolved] need Init.d script to execute a file on system/bin - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Resolution on post #10, in post #11 a second resolution and on post #12 the confirmation.
I need a init.d script to run or execute a service that is on system/bin
Is this possible?
Which commands to use?
I researched a lot, and I do not find anything about it.
The file name is jellyservice.
Jellyservice is a normal service that need to be running before run a app, without that, the app does not run.
I know that:
1. The jellyservice is presented on stock rom and the stock rom use init.rc to call the jellyservice at boot, and i can change the init.rc by change the boot.img (unpack, change, repack), but i wanna to be able to run it on any device wit any kernel, and don't wanna to change it kernel for it rom.
2. I can use SManager to run the file on boot. but i don't wanna to need a app just init.d, init.d is already implemented and working on almost every custom rom, so I put the init.d file on a zip that flash the apk, libs etc, and no more app or config is need.
Thanks.

Sorry, I was assuming you could find help there. By the way, you should be able to do this just by using a script like:
#!/system/bin/sh
-Give permission
/path/jelliservice
Then place it in init.d or write a specific script for init.d to run the above one.

Sorry if there's a bigger obstacle I'm not aware of.

No is all good.
but??? that willl run the service, or just give a permission.
I don't really know much about init.d script and the web does not help in that thing i wanna.
i'm implemented it now to see what that script does. :good:

Oh, so you are just asking for help with the actual script, fine. See if you can figure it out yourself from that post, I'm trying to build an easy example right now. I seem to not have this jelliservice you are talking about, maybe you can give me a few more insights about this.

ok.
i tested that you post doesn't do what i need.
i have this on init.d to now if it works.
#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
so i change the "done" of the last line to wherever and it time i reboot it change to wherever i wrote.
so init.d is working fine.
The jellyservice is a service that only exist on motorola stock rom on devices that have dedicated hardware of DTV.
it is started by i .rc file:
init.mmi.dtv.rc
and the content of that .rc is:
Code:
on boot
# DTV feature
service dtv-jelly /system/bin/jellyservice
class main
user system
group system audio camera graphics inet net_bt net_bt_admin net_raw sdcard_rw
iknow that is possible to implemented that .rc on any device by add it to the kernel or boot.img but it will be need to do on any rom and that is allot of work and will be impossible.
so i have created a tread to give support for that DTV to any custom rom, and i wanna to make a more completed .zip to the app.
see the thread here

You are right, it's not easy to test this out because of default .rc hardcoded into kernel... in order to do this you would have to edit .rc to run that service that runs userinit.sh... Have you already done this? And, are you able to start the service manually?

i didn't try implemented that .rc on boot.img, that is too much work, and need to be done on it kernel or rom update, but yes can be done.
The file is just like any other executable, just like a .sh or any file you can execute using a app that can execute files like, root browser or SManager.
all the process to run the file is on the thread i just post.
The thing is i already know how to run it via app, but i don't wanna to stop there i wanna to run it via init.d because is a very simple way, but very difficult to find the commands.
Exists any command on init.d that can run a file commands like, run, execute, open or start ?
any of those work? and how to use they?
have any website that have all the command available on init.d?

Hey, you can run a binary from sh by just invoking its path, for example:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/system/bin/jellyservice
The proccess will spawn with UID 0 (root)
You can change that if you have a good root binary by doing this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
su system -c '/system/bin/jellyservice'
If you're using supersu I think you have to enable root at boot (Look at the application settings)

so i resolve this :silly: :laugh: :victory:
after writing I read, and is so lame.
if the file is just like any other executable way not put it in the init.d folder?
and i put, rename to 99jellyservice
and the init.d run it and the apk that need that file to be running before you open it work.
@Ciuffy
Thanks you help me to find a way...

Yeah basically the only difference is that Android has no /bin/sh but /system/bin/sh. I though about just putting that there honestly but I couldn't get any of this working on my cyanogenmod so I was trying to figure out why >.>, but I'm probably missing something.
Anyway, glad I could help!
