Buffalo NAS: minimserver doesn't autostart
As a Linux newbye, I installed MinimServer 0.81 on my - previously opened gaining root access - Buffalo Linkstation Duo LS-WXL with most recent Fw (1.68)

After solving some issues - see below - I got MinimServer perfectly up and running. The update to 0.81.17 also worked well.

The only problem is that when I restart the NAS, MinimServer doesn't start.
Running SETUP in the console gives the message "MinimServer automatic startup is enabled" so I don't know what to do.
My NAS is configured to shutdown every night and startup every morning, so this is a problem for me.

Any idea ? Thanks for your help

EDIT
Googling around I understood that Linux autostart involves some files in /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d
I found that in /etc/init.d is there a "minimserver" file, without the .sh extension
I found also that in NONE of /etc/rc.d subdirectories there is a file with a name like "SXX_minimserver.sh", that I suppose should there be.
Hope this help...


P.S. Problems solved during installation:
1) I had to manually edit line 82 in SETUP, changing it in
SCRIPTNAME="$(readlink -f "$0")"
because the existing -e parameter caused an abend with error
2) I had to manually edit STARTC and STARTD files with the full path to the unpacked directory of the Jave EJRE anvironment
