Hi
just addes a script to Startup but Puppy is not loading it. It's the same script I have used before on Puppy and it has worked before. If I run it manually it works .

If I cd to startup and type sh blocktracker it loads

Puppy 528.004

Any ideas?

Thanks Mate,
sorry that didnt work . How can I check that the folder
Startup is actually being accessed?

[MinHundHettePerro]

Just a suggestion,
you could, for debugging purposes, insert the code in red below into /usr/sbin/delayedrun, starting at line 130

What does blocktracker script do?

[jockjunior]

Hi Bigpup it loads a list of ip addresses into iptables to block tracking from data harvester sites. Sorry for delay in replying we've got the builders in.

Can you post the code of the Blocktracker script.
Do not need the list of Ip addresses, just the execute code.

What does ss-off script do?

[Aitch]

looks like screensaver off...?

but could be start script off....

#! /bin/sh -e
#
# update_iptables.sh
# ------------------
# Shell script to read a file of IP addresses (in CIDR notation),
# one per line and terminated with a last line of "eof" and to
# update iptables to REJECT (with reason icmp-admin-prohibited) any outbound traffic
# to these addresses. Will output a message to your syslog for each block.
#
# 1) You must have iptables installed (I think most distros will have it installed already).
# 2) You must run this script as root (I use crontab to run it once a day and on reboot)
# 3) Don't forget to make this script exexcutable!
# 4) You can make your blocklist file editable by a trusted non-root user if you wish.
#

# ***** EDIT LINE BELOW with location of your blocklist file *****
IPLIST="/ip.data"
# *****-----------ho-------------------------------------------*****

# Clear existing iptables
/sbin/iptables --flush

# Configure iptables with addresses we block from going out
while read line
do
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -d $line -j LOG --log-prefix "BLOCKED TRACKING SITE: "
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -d $line -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-admin-prohibited
done < $IPLIST

# Display new iptables
#/sbin/iptables --list

# Exit
exit


dont know about ss-off but I did switch off screensaver to watch a video so maybe it's as Aitch suggests.

What baffles me is it runs if I do it manually. I open the Startup folder in rox and click on blocktracker.sh and it runs ?????

EDIT
Aaaaarrrrgh!

just looked in the taskbar and it's not loading network tray or power applet either

[jockjunior]

used a backup savefile and problem gone. Must have been corrupted some way.

thanks for your input guys

Hello !

At least my makeshift debugging script thingy shows that the scripts in /root/Startup are found and the ones that are executable at least are attempted to be run at startup (including your blocktracker.sh)

EDIT: saw that you got it working while I was writing ..

Cheers / MHHP
