Centos 7 Startup Script

I am running a headless Linux 17 media/NAS server. I have setup and tested the plexconnect script and it works. My only issue is that I can't figure out how to get the script to automatically run on startup. I tried using the GUI, but it doesn't seem to work.

To get it to work, I have to open terminal and navigate to the directory:

/usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/

Then run: sudo ./PlexConnect.py

The window has to remain open in order to keep running (which isn't an issue as it's headless). I'd just like to not have to login and start it each time the power goes out, or is rebooted.

I tried editing the crontab file and adding the following variations with no luck:
@reboot python /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py
@reboot /usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect.py

Neither has worked. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Starting the vncserver by executing vncserver :1 works as expected but what actually starts? I issued these commands but nothing I see identifies with the vncserver. I believe the server is tigervnc.
service --status-all
systemctl -a
systemctl list-unit-files
chkconfig -A
Also, how can this command: "vncserver :1", be issued at startup or turn the service on at startup?
I have tried this but the command does not execute.

./usr/bin/vncserver :1

Solved:
Made the following updates to /et/c/init/d/after.local

HOME=/root
export HOME
/usr/bin/vncserver -fg :1

I'm running Debian wheezy. I have Dropbox installed, but it won't run on startup. I downloaded their CLI script dropbox.py, and if I use

Code:

python dropbox.py start

then it starts. I'm trying to use that to get it to run at startup. I have tried editing .profile, and crontab, but it doesn't work and I don't know what else to try. Is it a permissions issue? (I tried making dropbox.py executable and adding python to visudo) or do I need to have some other command to run it at startup?

I appreciate the help!

Hi
Kindly refer to following post:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/pro...tml#post954718
Here, at post #4, solution given by "LSalab" worked for me. So I added it to startup applications in my cinnamon desktop. But the problem is that, it works only once after every login (when the battery gets lower than 10% so it informs me), and if I charge the battery and again it reaches that threshold point of 10%, the system does not inform me, which means that the startup script only executes once.
here is the script:
Code:

#!/bin/bash
while [[ `acpi | cut -d ' ' -f 4 | grep -Po '\d+'` -gt 10 ]]
do echo -ne "\r`acpi`"
sleep 5
done
notify-send -t 60000 'Low Battery' 'Battery charging of your system is below 10%. Kindly Plug charger. Thanks.'
echo ''
mplayer /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/phone-outgoing-busy.oga -loop 0

So my question is that, how can I make this script recurring at every threshold level?
Regards

Ive tried asking on various forums - rasppi etc.

I am running a startup script to start iceweasel on bootup. it opens 2 tabs with pages for internal sites.
Only issue with the device is that it wont be rebooted correctly it has an on and off usb power supply that will kill the power.
I am wondering if there is anything that i can do or put in a startup location or a crontab that on any bootup after power cutting out that it stops the process and then restarts the process/webpages.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi, i know this could seems like a "simple" question but after a lot fo try i can't seems to make it works, i am stuck on this. I am working on a sbc6000x board, linux 2.6.24, an embedded system.

I am working on a pretty nice project which when called like this run perfectly :
Code:

cd /bin
./apps

(/bin/apps don't works, it must be ./apps from the directory)

After searching a little about the startup i learned about rc.local and created it in /etc/init.d, rc.local look like this :

Code:

#!bin/sh
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#

cd /bin
./apps
cd

Sadly it seems it is never called. I was thinking about maybe add cd /bin, /.apps to the end of the etc/profile but i don't know if profile can run command aside from simple scripts call.

Does anyone has an idea on why this don't work or on how i could do this ?

I have 2 OS using mint.

I would like to select either OS by default.

I have tried to download startup manger, but it is not found.

Is there a substitute method?

Thanks, Jim

Good day

I have a application that startup as a daemon when the system boot-up. My problem is that it display that this application is running and nothing else is happening then. I am unable to enter any commands. I have tried all kind off key presses but cannot get to the prompt.

First off all why will this happen and then is there a way to get to the prompt without accessing the system with the network?

Thank you.
