Auto start application after boot up

Question

Hi:
I have a script that will launch an Application after boot. The script work with terminal but never launch after unit start up (connectcore 6 plus dev kits)

May i know

a) where the script should be located

/etc/rc.d (i read from this

https://www.digi.com/support/forum/73118/script-application-automaticaly-once-linux-boot-finished )

or

/etc/init.d

b) A window with Digi Logo will be usually launch (i guess is a weston compositor ?), can it be bypass and boot straight to my application?

Regards

Simon

Answer 1

create your startup script in /etc/init.d/somescript
create a symbolic link in /etc/rcX.d/ etc...
look for vsftpd as an example

Hi:
   I did this a while back. The unit will still boot to a window (weston, i think) with a DIGI logo. My script is "startApp.sh", and here are the content

  GNU nano 4.4                      startApp.sh                                 
#!/bin/sh


do_start() {
    /opt/viv_samples/vdk/cover_flow &
}

do_stop() {
    killproc cover_flow
}

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Starting cover_flow app"
    do_start
    ;;
  stop)
    echo "Stopping cuteradio app"
    do_stop
    ;;
  restart|force-reload)
    echo "Restarting cover_flow app"
    do_stop
    sleep 1
    do_start
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

Exit 0

still nothing. The Debug Console showed:

error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
vdk_create_display(955): wl_display_connect failed
Starting tcf-agent: OK

Any comment?
