| | 12 | Create an LSB style init script for launching a PiBot autonomous startup app.[[BR]] |
| | 13 | * I copied rc.local as a starting point and modified it to run my desired - PiBot app as follows: |
| | 14 | * sudo cp /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/init.d/pibot_auto |
| | 15 | * sudo vi /etc/init.d/pibot_auto |
| | 16 | * Revise the header block to describe PiBot autonomous app |
| | 17 | * Revise the do_start() to launch the PiBot autonomous app |
| | 18 | * Save and exit editor |
| | 19 | * Test/debug the script until it works as desired using these commands: |
| | 20 | * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto start |
| | 21 | * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto stop |
| | 22 | * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto restart |
| | 23 | When working as desired, register script to run at startup/shutdown: |
| | 24 | * sudo update-rc.d pibot_auto defaults |
| | 25 | If the script is changed (edited) after registering, a ‘reload’ may be necessary as follows: |
| | 26 | * sudo systemctl daemon-reload |
| | 27 | To unregister the script (i.e., stop it from running at startup/shutdown): |
| | 28 | * sudo update-rc.d -f pibot_auto remove |
