How to start a daemon at boot in openelec ?

[Nikki81]

I have built gamaral's rpi power switch http://guillermoamaral.com/read/rpi-psu-r3/ but am having trouble getting the daemon to start at boot. will i have to put the script in place and then rebuild it ?

Check out the source code of the shell script: [url]https://github.com/gamaral/rpi-pwrbtn/b ... _client.sh[/code]

Relevant excerpt from the source:

Code: Select all

## INSTALL ####################################################################
#
# Simply run as this script as a daemon on system start.
#
# Here's an example of how you could do just that on target.
#
# su # become root
# cp rpi-psu_client.sh /usr/local/bin
# chmod 700 /usr/local/bin/rpi-psu_client.sh
# echo "null::once:/root/rpi-psu_client.sh" >> /etc/inittab
#

Ive been trying things for the last two days and Ive still got the problem that every time i try and edit things to get the script to run i get the error that it is a read only file system

you need to remount it as read - write
somethign like
mount /flash -o remount,rw
then you can edit the files
