[ts-7000] Reading from file during boot

["chemostereman" <>]

Hello all,

I have a program called keypad.x stored in my root directory. This program 
reads information from a file called commands.txt. 

I created a runlevel 3 script so the process could be put in the background 
during boot and stored it in the /etc/init.d/ and made a soft link to the rc3.d 
folder.

#!/bin/sh
/root/keypad.x &

I can run the program if I log into the board, and I can also run the program 
from startup in the back ground if I do not read from commands.txt

I have changed the permission of the file to chmod 777, 666 etc and I am using 
getc to read from the file. The file is important because it is a save.

When I log into the box via telnet and run ps -x i do not see the process and 
if I use the serial bus I can see the the startup script is hanging only when I 
use the verison of keypad.x that reads from the file.

I have also tried to change the ownership via chown.

Any help?
