Adding service to run script in init.rc doesn't run


Question

I researched previous questions with this topic but unfortunately nothing has worked.



I am trying to disable status bar from users sliding from top of device upon bootup with this command to the adb console (which will be re-nabled if you reboot the phone, changes are discarded after reboot):



service call activity 42 s16 com.android.systemui


so that when my application boots up, they cannot slide from top to see status bar. I put that line in a script called init_remove.sh with lines below:



#!/system/bin/sh
service call activity 42 s16 com.android.systemui


whenever the user reboots his phone, I want the init.rc file to start a service to run that script every time. I added these lines of code to the end of the init.rc file:



# service to remove status bar
service init_remove /system/etc/init_remove.sh
user root
oneshot


I then recompiled the uramdisk.img file and pushed it to my rooted device. The new init.rc can be seen with the added changes but I can still swipe from top to view status bar.



What am I doing wrong



EDIT:
I now even tried this in init.rc file to start my service from the suggestion below:



on property:init.svc.zygote=running
start init_remove

on property:init.svc.servicemanager=running
start init_remove
.
.
.


but still no change...are my property triggers wrong?



EDIT 2 DAYS LATER:



So now I know my service is being noticed when init is running, but cannot be executed because of permissions issues seen below:



init: cannot execve('/system/bin/myscript'): Permission denied


as seen by the output on the console. My updated new service in the init.rc:



on boot
start myscript
service myscript /system/bin/myscript
user system
disabled
oneshot


I run the service as system since supposedly it has rw, and execute permissions: but it still cannot exec. What I think could be the problem is that the mountpoint for the filesystem is listed as read-only, seen by mount command:



/ $ mount

/dev/fuse /storage/extsd fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0


But I cannot figure out where in the init.rc file I can set the partition that /system filesystem to rw (and execute) when it mounts.


Answer

As always, the answer was simpler (although it tooks hours of research) than I thought.



Explanation



The answer was that init was not viewing the file as executable. The system call execve, I found out returns errors of Permission denied because it cannot determine it is the right file type to execute, amidst other errors that could cause it. Since @Agu.Thade mentioned if I had permissions, I researched into it more. After about 16 hours of trying to work around ro filesystem crap that I thought was causing the issue, I realized that all the executables in the /system/bin folder were green and my script was white (regular file). So using the chmod advice from @Agu.Thade, I tried to chmod +x from adb which returned Bad mode.



Answer



Three hours later, I finally figured maybe I should pull the script to my computer, chmod +x myscript and adb push myscript /system/bin/. I did so, ran ls, and SURE ENOUGH, the file turned green (recognized as executable). Did a reboot, and of course, my script ran.
