Hallo, Michael,

"/tmp" is no good choice for a program which has to be executed in this  
case from "dnsmasq".

I prefer "/root/bin" for those scripts because managing "dnsmasq" is a  
pure "root" job; maybe FHS or other rule works propose other  
directories.

What's the contents of your script? Just for testing you may use

#! /bin/bash
# just for testing
Log=/var/log/dnsmasqscript.log
date >> $Log
echo "Param1 = $1" >> $Log
echo "Param2 = $2" >> $Log
echo "Param3 = $3" >> $Log
echo "Param4 = $4" >> $Log
#


Script rights:
        root:root
        700

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
