Run three commands at startup

[tiny_man]

Hi

I need to rune these commands at startup in following orders

Code: Select all

uv4l --driver raspicam --auto-video_nr --framerate 15

sudo chrt -a -r -p 99 `pgrep uv4l`   

cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-width 1024 --v4l2-height 576-v4l2-chroma h264 --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}'

How do I do it?

Put the commands in /etc/rc.local they should run just before the login screen.

I tried but it says it cant run vlc from sudo mode!

but the first line is OK.

more ideas?

A quick look at the VideoLAN forum would suggest that VLC doesn't like running under root - lol.
You could probably get around this by running it under the pi account i.e.
su pi -c "cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0 --v4l2-width 1024 --v4l2-height 576-v4l2-chroma h264 --sout '#rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8554/}' "

Or you could do it the sensible way as I detail in posts in the many similar threads on this subject.

Search this forum for posts by me - you'll find it.

Note: The basic underlying take-home on this is that the /etc/init* and /etc/rc.local stuff was never intended for running "user" tasks - that is, things that users dream up and implement. It was designed for system configuration tasks.
