Service started from Init.rc

Question

I want to call a script from my init.rc :

service script /system/etc/wifi.sh
    user system
    group wifi
    class main
    oneshot

Content of wifi.sh :

#!/system/bin/sh

service p2p_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant \
    -iwlan0 -Dnl80211 -c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
    class late_start
    disabled
    oneshot

But p2p_supplicant service is not started.

Is it possible to call service from another service?

Answer 1

You could have your bash script wait for the desired process to start running before it does anything. See this article for information: Bash wait for process start

In your specific case it seems like there is a better way to configure the supplicant using parameters and the conf file that doesn't involve running a shell script.
