Hi,
I am using libreelec 9.2.1 and want to start TVmosaic automatically on startup. So I created autostart.sh with the following lines:
#!/bin/sh
(
sh /storage/tvmosaic/start2.sh
) &
If I run the autostart.sh manually it is working but when I reboot the Pi the start2.sh script will not executed. Generally the autostart.sh will be executed.
I tested it on creating a text file with autostart.
Has anybody an idea why the script will not execute on reboot?
"/usr/bin/sh" not "sh" ?
Thanks chewitt for your replay.
I tried this but it did not work, too.
When I execute the autostart.sh manually (by hand) then it works.
At the startup it doesn't work.
Thanks Da Flex but again no luck. Still not executing at startup.
Thanks for testing. Remove the (...) &, which makes the call a background process. Make sure both scripts have executable permissions (chmod +x).
My autostart.sh scrpt has only the both commans:
Both scripts have execute permission.
=> Again no luck.
Then post the start2.sh script please. When it's a large script, use a link to Pastebin for publishing.
Start another simple shell script (test file creation etc.) from autostart.sh to be sure that shell-script-to-shell-script works.
Here is the start2.sh script:
#!/bin/sh
. $(dirname $0)/incl
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${TVM_ROOT_DIR}/lib
export TVMOSAIC_ROOT_CONFIG_DIR=${TVM_ROOT_DIR}
${TVM_ROOT_DIR}/tvmosaic_server
Result should be like (/YOUR_TVM_ROOT_DIR replaced by the result you found at point 3):
echo $TVM_ROOT_DIR did not give me any result.
Now I tried this:
#!/bin/sh
export TVM_ROOT_DIR=/storage/tvmosaic
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${TVM_ROOT_DIR}/lib
export TVMOSAIC_ROOT_CONFIG_DIR=${TVM_ROOT_DIR}
${TVM_ROOT_DIR}/tvmosaic_server
but it only works manually. Not at reboot.
I recognized an error message at booting:
Failed to start Apply Kernel Variables
Maybe this depends on my problem?
Use journalctl -u kodi-autostart to see error/log messages from boot.
There are no errors.
Theory: /etc/profile initializes environment variables for add-on's, but will only get executed when starting a shell session.
To include this process into your script, try:
Still not running at reboot
If you need to control start sequencing use a system.d service, you have a lot more control over when things happen.
