To answer the topic question:
If the card is a vfat card, edit /usr/sbin/mmc-mount and put "exec /usr/local/bin/backup_syslogs.sh" at the end. If it's an ext* one, edit /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh and find the right section depending on fs to shove that line in.
If the card is a vfat card, edit /usr/sbin/mmc-mount and put "exec /usr/local/bin/backup_syslogs.sh" at the end. If it's an ext* one, edit /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh and find the right section depending on fs to shove that line in.

Calling my script from '/usr/sbin/mmc-mount' with 'exec' caused 'memory card corrupted or unformatted' error popups. Without 'exec' and with the output suppressed it works:
I'll also try the sp-rich-core core-dump tool.
Code:
sh /usr/local/bin/backup_syslogs.sh &> /dev/null

You definitely don't want the 'exec' there.. it replaces the process (the original script) with the one you're calling, which isn't what you want to do - you just want to call that backup_syslogs.sh script and then go on with the original script (even if that's just to exit, if you placed that call at the end).
Just
should be OK, if the backup_syslogs.sh script begins with
and has the 'x' bit set (chmod a+x backup_syslogs.sh), unless you have /usr/local/bin on a vfat card, as those are mounted noexec. For such cases (no x-bit or noexec), using 'sh' to execute the script (as in your posting) will handle that.
Just
Code:
/usr/local/bin/backup_syslogs.sh &> /dev/null
Code:
#!/bin/sh

In order to find the cause of reboot loops I installed syslogkd. I can let it write logs to one of the SD cards. But after rebooting no new logs are written to it. I guess this is because the daemon tries to write the files before the SD card is mounted.
So my next idea was to automatically copy the logfiles from /var/log/ to the SD card as soon as it is mounted. But it won't work so far. To test using udev for this I have made these files:
/etc/udev/rules.d/91_backupsyslogs.rules :
#!/bin/sh if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ] then datestring=`date '+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S'` echo "" > "/media/mmc1/test_${datestring}" fiLast edited by iamthewalrus; 2008-08-25 at 16:34.
