Attempting to get a Python script to run on bootup
 |
| Raspberry Pi door bell, with X-Mini as amp |
I used the following code to get doorbell.py to run on boot up.
sudo bash
sudo nano /etc/init.d/doorboot
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: doorboot
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start door bell python script at boot time
# Description: Start doorbell at boot time.
### END INIT INFO
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/doorboot
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting DoorBell"
python /home/pi/doorbell.py &
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping DoorBell"
python -kill :0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/doorboot {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/doorboot
update-rc.d doorboot defaults
It doesn't appear to work, but this does start the app
sudo /etc/init.d/doorboot start
Anybody got any ideas?
and what is a .logon file and where would I find it?
