This was put onto an ARCH 4.14.97 OS .Why Arch? it was a Crompton ASL payload and I wanted to enhance it with DVSwitch.
It's been up running happily for some time now so I cant remember all that much about the build.
All of the /opt Symbolic links are all pointing back to the respective sources but they are under the /usr/local/dvswitch-2019-3-16/opt/...

I know it's not a standard deployment and I shouldn't expect any support but the question remains, Why does it not see the file when it is actually there. 
The script is just looking for a file at a location right? Even if I define the long path it still complanes..
Mind you I am no Linux guru.. I only know enough to cobble things together to get them to work. Clearly my last cobble has some flaws in it.
But can we get around this? I'll take the lumps.. That's how we learn...other than my overall build, where did I go wrong?

Th one thing that IS of note is that the /opt/MMDVM_Bridge folder is a symbolic link to /usr/local/dvswitch/opt/MMDVM_Bridge as are all of the other folders under /opt

Also I can manually CAT the /opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini file from the Analog_Bridge folder from where the DVSwitch.sh scriptis run.. 

sorry steve.. here is the last bit of the debug output

Hey Guys/Gals, 
I'm having a strange error.. I have DVSwitch up and running on an ASL deployment and I had configured ASL NODE 1999 for use as a bridge to DMR.
It works just dandy, So I figured it was time to move forward and see about lighting up DStar and maybe another mode.. but for now DStar was the one I was going to start with.

I when I manually invoke a ./dvswitch.sh mode DSTAR the script comes back with the error that the DVSwitch.ini cant be found?
I checked the script and the DVSWITCH_INI variable points to /opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini and after checking several if not tens of times, YES the file lives in there along with MMDVM_Bridge and MMDVM_Bridge.ini

What gives? what did I mess up?
I think that in the dvswitch.sh file, I can see that it it's supposed to parse the file and if it cant find the values it assumes its because the file isn't available?
The file permissions are 755 but I have also tried at 777 and it still fails. 

Oh , and YES the [DSTAR] schema is present in the DVSwitch.ini as well as it's associated TXPort and RXPort values this process is looking for.
And the [D-Star] Enable=1 is set in the MMDVM_Bridge.ini..

Thanks, any insight is appreciated.

The path in the .sh script is set to  DVSWITCH_INI=${DVSWITCH_INI:-"/opt/MMDVM_Bridge/DVSwitch.ini"} 
The file permissions are 755 and the owner is root.. but everything is root on this pi.

Yes Mike, that's what I meant.. wait a min....I thought I put.....
Yeah, That's the subject of this thread right?

Crazy... Still no worky..

Yep I'm root and the files are owned by root as well.\
all processes except for some started by systemd+ (none related to this) are running under root
