my script is run on startup at rc.local. Everything works fine except one problem, When the video plays with a button press it shows the terminal text on screen for a second. but if i type clear in the terminal the text is then removed. i have tried adding clear() to my script but then dose not work as it did when i typed it manually. Do you know what i could try ?

Thank you. That has helped by adding to rc.local. But if i add it at the end of " & " it dose not work and if i remove " &" it works but my splash screen stays there.
This works but splach screen sticks

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi
python3 /home/pi/mytracker/motion.py 
clear
exit 0

if its like this the terminal text stays
