Hello there,

 

I am looking a way to get / write a script for the file to be run on startup.

 

I am running PiAware with dump1090-fa installed. I would like to having the

view1090-fa --modeac

to be auto run when the system is ON. Is there a way to get this work without my concern in the future?

 

Currently if I need to run this command, I need to run SSH and remote the Pi to run this command from my PC. Thank you in advance.

 

Regards,

SaiHou

You may call this command at startup using /etc/rc.local ...

Hi martinayotte,

 

Thank you for the advise.

 

Is it something like:-

 

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

  GNU nano 2.7.4                 File: /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to disable this script please use systemd to control the service:
# systemctl disable rc-local.service
#
# By default this script does nothing.

view1090-fa --modeac

exit 0

Then reboot and the view1090-fa --modeac will run automatically? Thank you once again.

Right !

For other kind of apps which run in background, ampersand need to be added, example :

python run_for_ever.py &

Thanks for the reply. It only works in Armbian Debian Jessie.

For the Raspbian Jessie it will not work. Any clue on this to solve it?

Thanks once again.

euuh ? /etc/rc.local should exist on both !

I'm don't know what can be wrong in Rasbian ...

Hi martinayotte,

 

I have no idea. Both OS has this file but only the Armbian is working, Raspbian is not. No clue.

 

Anyway, thank you for sharing info.

 

Regards.
