Hi, I am new to linux and am trying to setup WD on a linux box. I have it running, but I would like it to run when I boot. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
The easiest way is using Cron.
:$ crontab -e -u root
And then add a line:
@reboot /home/user/consolewd/consolewd
no joy on that one.
BTW. I am using the GUI version (if that makes a difference)
you would need to change to the name of that program instead
Sorry, Not working.
I’m a linux newbie but if I run weatherdisplay like this
sudo ./weatherdisplay
then password
should I have to enter that in the cron some how?
what password are you refering to?
logon password.
everytime I use sudo it asks me to enter a password
that will be a way to get around that (google is your friend)
I have this partly solved.
It starts but will not read the data from station. I need to start it with sudo to get it to start logging data
there should be a way to get it to start as sudo auto
maybe via a batch script
for now I am just to new to linux to try something like that.
I will have to learn more before I try
google has lots of linux stuff
as people ask questions
if you pitch the question right to google you should get an answer
Yes, there are hundreds of articles on this. I just have to find the one that works.
