SaiHou Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 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.

martinayotte Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 You may call this command at startup using /etc/rc.local ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Regards, SaiHou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Raspbian Jessie it will not work. Any clue on this to solve it? Thanks once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
