More of a Linux question, but worth a shot since others have probably been to this rodeo before. I have come across an issue starting AMPRnet automatically at boot. The ipip.routes script seems to fail starting the tunl interface when ran by the system by the rc.local script. Interestingly, when ipip.routes is ran in the crontab (nightly update) there are no issues. So this is specifically related to the rc.local script.
Anyone else run into this issue?
Thanks,

Depending on your specific distro/version, SYSV may have been replaced with SystemD. A step in the wrong direction IMHO.
If you are still SYSV, insure your script is executable, then insure it's properly being called. My scripts need not be placed in rc.local but are SYSV compatable.

I also use this in the init script in /etc/init.d
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $network $ax25
If you make sure it waits until network is up and ax25 is started, you will probably be better off.

You can start the whole thing from crontab at boot using @reboot
@reboot root /usr/local/hamradio/bin/start.ax25 >/dev/null 2>&1
Add sleep commands at the beginning of your 'start.ax25' script and between certain items so that you know that the stuff is up.
