Steps to reproduce

Have 4 commands to run in dietpi-autostart/custom.sh

  1. commands clearly do not run because if I run them in SSH, I can see they work
  2. Even running sh custom.sh works, but not with dietpi-autostart after boot.

Expected behaviour

four commands will run:
python3 AutoASPM/pkgs/autoaspm.py
powertop --auto-tune
setpci -s 01:00.0 0x80.B=0x42
setpci -s 02:00.0 0x80.B=0x42

  • …

Actual behaviour

you would need to use the full path for the command, not just the command itself.

Here is my custum.sh which runs just fine with

sh /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh

           #!/bin/bash
# DietPi-AutoStart custom script
# Location: /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-autostart/custom.sh


python3 AutoASPM/pkgs/autoaspm.py

powertop --auto-tune


setpci -s 01:00.0 0x80.B=0x42

setpci -s 02:00.0 0x80.B=0x42

exit 0
