Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start

it works. but if i reboot. it doesn't work

i have already made /etc/rc.local executable

You need to put the full path of the file name.

You can't have

Code: Select all

./blynk-library/linux/blynk

in /etc/rc.local because rc.local usually gets run with the working directory set to "/", but when you run

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start

the working directory will be wherever you are at the time - probably /home/pi ?

So what you'd need is

Code: Select all

/home/pi/blynk-library/linux/blynk --token=<my token> &
