I'm running 23SP1 mini on a v3.0 WRT54G. Since I'm running mini, I had room to enable JFFS and installed ez-ipupdate from an OpenWRT repository.

ez-ipupdate works well, but I want to have it launch every time I boot. This command line launches it when connected via ssh: /jffs/usr/sbin/ez-ipupdate -c /jffs/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf

If I run a "ps" after that, I'll see ez-ipupdate running. If I put the exact same line in the startup NVRAM item (via the web interface), when I run "ps" after rebooting, ez-ipupdate is not running.

Any suggestions? Is it somehow called before /jffs/ is mounted?

Try:

sleep 45;/jffs/usr/sbin/ez-ipupdate -c /jffs/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf

as your start script, the system needs time to mount all the file systems
and stabilize before all the services, etc become available. This method works 100% of the time for me.
