i want the following commands to run when the router boots

/usr/sbin/setserial /dev/tts/1 irq 3
/usr/sbin/stty -F /dev/tts/1 raw speed 9600
/bin/carserver &


so i made a custom-user-startup file as follows

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
START=90
# place your own startup commands here
#
# REMEMBER: You *MUST* place an '&' after launching programs you
#   that are to continue running in the background.
#
#   i.e.
#   BAD:  upnpd
#   GOOD: upnpd &
#
# Failure to do this will result in the startup process halting
# on this file and the diagnostic light remaining on (at least
# for WRT54G(s) models).
#
/usr/sbin/setserial /dev/tts/1 irq 3
/usr/sbin/stty -F /dev/tts/1 raw speed 9600
/bin/carserver &



i saved it without a file extension, sftp'd it to the router under /etc/init.d then chmod'd it to 755

i rebooted the router, but the commands didnt run, what do i do, do i have to enable it to use the custom-user-startup file? btw i have a linksys wrt54gs v4

You need to run " /etc/init.d/yourfile enable"  to male it install the appropraite symlink to /etc/rc.d (this functionality is provided by rc.common).
