Info and scripts for setting startup services on the raspberry pi.
The easy way to get startup services working on the Pi
is to handle all of the logic in a single script,
and call that single script from your local list of startup services.
This list is in the /etc/rc.local file:
$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# 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 enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
/usr/bin/python /path/to/my/script.py
exit 0
This keeps it clean and simple.
(P.S. - search for "exit 0" and replace with "your code\nexit 0")
