[solved] Script to Start at Booting and start at shutdown - walterwhite - 05-30-2017

Hello Everybody,

I have a little problem. I try to figure out, how it's go, but i failed. Sad

Summary:

I use google drive and want to synchronize my local folder with grive.
If I start the script manually, there is no problem. It runs.

Script:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/bin

grive -p /home/walter/Google_Drive/ >/dev/null 2>&1 

exit 0

If I try to start the script via

Code:
/etc/rc.local

nothing happens.

I activate rc.local with

Code:
sudo systemctl edit --full rc-local

and edit the file, adding:

Code:
[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Activate:

Code:
sudo systemctl reenable rc-local

After reboot, there is no synchronize.
I don't know, whats wrong...

How can I start a script, which needs a few seconds to run after booting?

Thanks!

Regards
walter

I using the newest Linux Lite 64 Bit.

Hopefully this info will aide until an expert comes along...??.. As I'm no expert :o

Thinking if the script is running at boot but running too early in the boot process (say prior to NIC initialization) perhaps adding "sleep xxx" to the script to allow it to wait for a determined amount of time..? Another thought is that the script may need to run after login...

Info that may help get you in the right direction... These are mostly examples

Hi there,

the problem was to wait until wlan is start up.
This was a duration to 60 seconds..
"sleep" was the winner. :-)
