OK, I figured it out…
config_boot_linux() of /etc/wanpipe/wancfg_zaptel/wancfg_zaptel.pl gets runs after each boot and this is what updates the wanrouter script and recreates those links…
I had to set the start and stop level at the top of that function to the ones I had decided on…
i.e.
my $wanrouter_start_level=20;
my $wanrouter_stop_level=80;
They were initiallty set to
my $wanrouter_start_level=8;
my $wanrouter_stop_level=91;
I guess I could have kept that stop level but I had decided on 80…
Boot time is now under a minute and starting wanrouter no longer fails…
Thank you very much dicko and have a nice day!
