There are a few methods you use us. Try this:

http://www.raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi ... an/scripts

or

http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2013/0 ... sing-cron/

or

http://blog.scphillips.com/2013/07/gett ... e-on-boot/

I prefer the last one as you can then easily start/stop the program, but its slightly more complicated to setup.

Hello gmc,
i have followed u r first link, so i have created the bin directory in /home/pi and written script
#!/bin/bash
#Script to our application
echo"Doing auto run Script..."
sudo /home/pi/Desktop/Camera_App/Camera

& saved it as script_auto_run. i have excecuted this script, it is working fine.

as per steps geiven in the link i have added the /etc/rc.local file as

if[$(tty)==/dev/tty1];then
/home/pi/bin/script_auto_run
#fi

i have reboot my pi but it is not working......

Thanks&Regards

[gmc]

if[$(tty)==/dev/tty1];then
/home/pi/bin/script_auto_run
#fi

i dont have access to my pi here, but I'm guessing this is the problem.

Just strip the if statement out and run:

Code: Select all

/home/pi/bin/script_auto_run
