Post subject:  Setting applications to run at startup
I finally got my imon VFD display working well with myth, but am too much of a linux newbie to get the commands to run automatically at reboot.

I used the following guide:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/LCDproc

Here is what I have to do in a shell to make it work:

# /usr/local/sbin/LCDd -c /home/mythtv/lcd/LCDd.conf
# killall mythlcdserver
# mythlcdserver

I assume that I really only need to get the first line to execute, since it looks like mythlcdserver is running before LCDd

Any ideas?

thanks

put the commands at the bottom of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and they will be run automatically when your system boots.

I added it to the end of the script, but it didn't work.

Stange, since I can enter exactly those commands in the shell and it works fine. Thoughts?

Did you add all three commands? It may be that the mythlcdserver needs to be re-started AFTER you have run LCDd.

I did add all three.

Is there anything in the script that needs to be at the end, or can my three lines be at the very end?

Normally it can be at the end but be sure to press enter for a new line after it.

But on KnoppMyth R5E50 the path for LCDd is only /usr/sbin/LCDd .

I have the same problem and try it in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh with these lines:
# mythlcdserver
/usr/sbin/LCDd
killall mythlcdserver
mythlcdserver -d

I will post it here if that works.

The problem is that LCDd needs a time to come up. My solution is:

# mythlcdserver
/usr/sbin/LCDd
killall mythlcdserver
sleep 5 # wait 5 seconds, you can play with this value.
mythlcdserver -d

Good luck,
Kai

instead of starting, killing and restarting mythlcdserver, maybe you can either just start usr/sbin/LCDd earlier.

Or not start mythlcdserver during the standard boot process...only once, in miscboot.
