Nokia N9 Autorun

[blackalik]

I created file DataWatch.conf in directory /etc/init/apps for the app to lauch at startup, but the application does not autostart.

The file content is:

description "DataWatch demon startup script"
author "me@gmail.com"
stop on stopping xsession
console none
respawn
respawn limit 3 300
nice 2
normal exit 0
exec /usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -u user /opt/DataWatch/bin/DataWatch -background

Also tried creating a script:
#!/bin/sh
/opt/DataWatch/bin/DataWatch -background
in the directory "/etc/init.d"

This didn't work either. What could be the problem?
The files are created during the installation.
Please, help!

Hi,

To start applications at upstart you need to give the aegis credentials.

You need to update the manifest.aegis file, added by qtcreator if your are using QTSDK for development with -

<aegis>
<request>
<credential name="GRP::upstart" />
<credential name="UID::user" />
<credential name="GID::users" />
<for path="/opt/DataWatch/bin/DataWatch" />
</request>
</aegis>

If you are using scratchbox for dev, please put this file in debian folder with the file name as <pkgname>.aegis

Hope this helps.

In your /etc/init/apps/<app>.conf script

can you modify the last line (or the exec line to be as)

exec /usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -u user -l "exec /opt/DataWatch/bin/DataWatch.sh"

and add

/opt/DataWatch/bin/DataWatch.sh
-----------------
#!/bin/sh
echo "Start My App On Boot"
exec /opt/DataWatch/bin/DataWatch
-----------------

Hope this helps

The problem is solved:

MyApp.desktop:

description "MyApp startup script"
author "MyApp"

stop on stopping xsession

console output
respawn
respawn limit 3 300
normal exit 0

exec /usr/bin/aegis-exec -s -u user -l "exec /opt/MyApp/bin/startup.sh"

startup.sh:

#!/bin/sh
exec /opt/MyApp/bin/MyApp -background

manifest.aegis:

<aegis>
<request>
<credential name="UID::user" />
<credential name="GID::users" />
<for path="/opt/MyApp/bin/MyApp"/>
</request>
<request>
<credential name="UID::user" />
<credential name="GID::users" />
<for path="/opt/MyApp/bin/startup.sh" />
</request>
</aegis>


Thanks!
