Automatically Start on Boot Up RPi3

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Automatically Start on Boot Up RPi3

Post by King Kong »

Hello
I have CumulusMX installed on a Pi3 and would like it to start automatically when the device is powered up. I thought I saw a post on how to run a script however I can't find it. Also I did have it setup so that CumulusMX would start automatically however somethings gone a missing and it isn't starting anymore. Could someone kindly post the link to the article that has instructions for auto starting CumulusMX.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Check this thread. https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=14753

This worked more reliably than using an entry using @reboot in CRONTAB.
