| | 56 | NOTE: Use ‘sudo’ to perform these operations as root in a Raspbian shell… |

| | 58 | Create an LSB style init script for launching a PiBot autonomous startup app.[[BR]] |
| | 59 | * I copied rc.local as a starting point and modified it to run my desired - PiBot app as follows: |
| | 60 | * sudo cp /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/init.d/pibot_auto |
| | 61 | * sudo vi /etc/init.d/pibot_auto |
| | 62 | * Revise the header block to describe PiBot autonomous app |
| | 63 | * Revise the do_start() to launch the PiBot autonomous app |
| | 64 | * Save and exit editor |
| | 65 | * Test/debug the script until it works as desired using these commands: |
| | 66 | * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto start |
| | 67 | * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto stop |
| | 68 | * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto restart |
| | 69 | When working as desired, register script to run at startup/shutdown: |
| | 70 | * sudo update-rc.d pibot_auto defaults |
| | 71 | If the script is changed (edited) after registering, a ‘reload’ may be necessary as follows: |
| | 72 | * sudo systemctl daemon-reload |
| | 73 | To unregister the script (i.e., stop it from running at startup/shutdown): |
| | 74 | * sudo update-rc.d -f pibot_auto remove |
