This is the latest start-sshd-file:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
date +'%a %F %T %Z' >> /data/data/com.termux/files/home/log.txt
date +'%a %F %T %Z' >> ~/log.txt

The file and its parent directories are all owned by the user. I don't know what else I can try.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Termux and Termux:Boot from F-Droid
2. Add a script to ~/.termux/boot/
3. Reboot

Expected behavior

The script is executed.

Additional information

• Termux application version: 0.118.0
• Android OS version: 11
• Device model: Homatics Box R 4K Plus

What's the output for /system/bin/ls -ldZ "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.termux/boot/start-sshd" "/data/data/com.termux"

Edit:

03-23 13:58:45.189 3535 3535 W com.termux.boot: type=1400 audit(0.0:154): avc: granted { execute } for name="start-sshd" dev="mmcblk0p23" ino=630413 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app_27:s0:c105,c256,c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:app_data_file:s0:c105,c256,c512,c768 tclass=file app=com.termux.boot

Actually, probably not ownership issue. What's the output for stat /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh and how are you creating the script file?

Is it possible to be related to UNIXProcess#forkAndExec not supported?

I'm getting same error while trying to run gradle:

[sylirre]

@odoral Your error doesn't look same. JDK-21 and Termux:Boot can't share runtime issues either, you are comparing a package with Android application.

[odoral]

I understand @sylirre but I'm pointing the fact that both issues have the same root cause:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: error=0,
        at java.base/java.lang.ProcessImpl.forkAndExec(Native Method)

Is it maybe possible that forks are not supported/allowed by any reason?

[sylirre]

fork() is a critical functionality to run shell and command line tools. Termux app would be useless if that function would be forbidden.

ForkAndExec will fail if the executable file can't run for whatever reason, e.g. linking error for binaries or wrong shebang for scripts.

Termux installed from Google Play also could be a reason.

[odoral]

In my case @sylirre, I installed it from Google Play. Thanks for your comments.
