How to run a python script at startup on orange pi zero? Thx!

How about creating/editing /etc/rc.local and running script from there? i.e. Something like

#!/bin/bash

python <name of script> &

exit 0

 

Make sure that /etc/rc.local is executable (sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local) and it'll be picked up and run when you reboot.

One small thing to remember about the rc.local script: It *must* exit successfully. So the last line, as in the above script

exit 0

must be present and the last line. I just wanted to make sure one didn't remove it - it can be a gotcha!
