Re: Problem starting appWeb (new findings)

If I am reading the echo statements correctly, you are writing your
log file to the flash file system (jffs). This is probably a poor idea
since it is hard on the flash and also, it brings a random timing
overhead with it. I have a similar setup running (apache and appWeb on
different ports) and they are starting fine. The difference is that I
am not writing log files to / and I am not changing the random device.

For troubleshooting, perhaps the random changes should be located in
another script. Then you can run it before or after depending upon the
name.
