  • allmon3
  • asl3-asterisk

I guess I will have to rebuild from scratch.

If missing, add the line

!#/bin/sh -e

at the beginning of /etc/rc.local.

Yes, this is a known issue that’s been around since release 3.0.15 of the image. It does not actually break anything with the node and can be safely ignored. It will be fixed in a forthcoming version of the asl3 package - it just didn’t make it into this round.

Thanks Chuck for the quick reply.

Sure enough, one of today’s updates, replaced rc.local with a file containing a single line of “exit 0”. Not even a “!#/bin/sh” on the first line.

I restored the original file. Now there are no errors.

I suspect a two line file would be fine also: “#!/bin/sh -e” and “exit 0”

Hmmm… I wonder which of the 7 updates replaced rc.local?

it was “fixed” in asl3-pi-appliance 1.9.0-3. A full fix will be released in the forthcoming 1.9.0-5. That file shouldn’t even exist and is safely deleted.
