SaiHou Posted June 20, 2018 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. Regards, SaiHou

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

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

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.
