Start on boot

Hi, what’s the best way of making this start on boot?

I’m running it from a Raspberry Pi, and the only way I was able to make it successfully make it run as as root on boot was to add the following line to /etc/rc.local:

su pi -c 'cd /home/pi/Code/automate && sudo amazon-dash run < /dev/null &'

As you can see, this changes to the directory that contains the amazon-dash.yml file, then runs sudo amazon-dash run. I’m not sure what the rest of the line does, or if it’s required, but this whole approach seems like overkill, and I can’t help but feel it’s wrong.

I guess I have two question in that case:

• is there a way of running the script by passing in a path to the config file (rather than having to cd into the directory that contains the file)
• is there a better way of running the script on boot, maybe via init.d or something like that?

Thank you.

Yes.

Try:

sudo amazon-dash --config /home/pi/Code/automate/amazon-dash.yml run

If this has solved your problem, please close the task. Thank you.
