Hi,
this is a long post, so please be patient   .

I am using a librebooted x200, so as described here, I need to install powertop and start it at boot.

As the instructions given in the site doesn't apply to an alternative init system like openrc, I needed to find another method.

Furthermore, I have to disable the use of powertop in two external usb devices, so the commands I need to run in boot time are:

/usr/sbin/powertop --auto-tune
echo 'on' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.2/power/control';
echo 'on' > '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.5/power/control';

I tried to add them in cron like this:

@reboot /usr/sbin/powertop --auto-tune
@reboot echo on | doas /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.2/power/control
@reboot echo on | doas /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.5/power/control

but although powertop starts, the 2nd and 3d command don't work. (Also I have tried more compinations with or without doas.)

What I ended up doing, and it worked, was to add the commands to ~/.xinitrc and also adjusting the /etc/doas.conf accordingly. I don't like messing with doas.conf though, and maybe there is something new for me to learn, so my question is if there is a better (more secure?) alternative for this.
