I have a script that works to WOL my PC when I try to remote desktop in. I can kick it off from the shell using the following command

/bin/sh /tmp/custom.sh &

and it'll run until the router reboots which is great but I cannot get the script to kick off on startup for me

I currently have this as the startup script

/bin/sh -c '/bin/sh /tmp/custom.sh' &

I've tried a bunch of different combinations but I'm not that knowledgable of linux

Here are other commands I've tried in the startup script

/bin/sh /tmp/custom.sh
/bin/sh /tmp/custom.sh &
sh /tmp/custom.sh
sh /tmp/custom.sh &

Here is the script main script that works fine if I kick it off from he shell then log out in case it has something to do with it (it's modifed using the Web WOL script)

for whatever reason it's could not work, multiple line firewall scripts didn't seem to work too well either but I enabled cron and put the following 2 lines in

02 * * * * root /usr/bin/killall sh
03 * * * * root /bin/sh /tmp/custom.sh &

to kill and restart the process on the 2nd and 3rd minute of every hour and seems to be working well

now me and my comptuer can sleep
