    Oh! It's the pi user! :D
    No need to use sudo nor --user. Change your line to this:

    /home/pi/RetroPie-Manager/rpmanager.sh --start 2>&1 &
    

    And you can delete the id line.

    Updating the README. Thanks for the feedback!

        What is the current status of this project? Would love to see it added to the experimental packages. Amazing how many talented people get drawn to Retropie.

            I was thinking about this other day. "Is someone using it?"

            I was working on the experimental scriptmodule that @herb_fargus started, but lost the enthusiasm... Maybe the @Botolo is busy, and he was tweaking on the main features of the retropie-manager. I just wrote the rpmanager.sh script, and helped with testing and docs.

            OK, you guys hit me! I'll try to finish the experimental scriptmodule.

              @meleu I think once this thread got pushed down the page a lot of people forgot about it. I would love to be able to check the status of my pi from my laptop or phone. Maybe even do some basic things like restart the pi or rename roms. Maybe see memory, drive usage, and temp.

                @meleu I use this a lot! Like someone said earlier, I'd love for it be more refined, and new features to be added as well, most importantly, make sure its something that is standard with RetroPie moving forward! Just my 2 cents :-)

                    @meleu Feeling a bit silly, but I have installed from the experimental packages and started it from the menu and set it to start on boot. I am trying to access it via web browser at my PI's IP address but get page not found. Is there more that I need to do?

                        WOW, I just came across this today, looking forward to giving it a try.
                        Myself, I can't see it getting used a lot, be people I've built PIs for sure will. What do you think about adding a virtual shell\console to it? I realise there is remote tools, but while you're in there....

                        Not sure how this would work, it's just an idea. I managed a lot of devices that do this, web based UI, then you can throw to a shell for more advanced work. Prob is, it's often java based and no one wants that

                          I am loving this package. It makes managing my rom and bios sets a lot easier. I was wondering, would it be possible to add the ability to rename the files from the web app? I know I can do it via the Samba share or even directly from an SSH session, but it would be nice to be able to do it from the web page. Also, where is it pulling the file info when you upload? I used it to upload a Sega CD bios file and it told me it was a unsupported bios after the upload.

                            Any future updates for the manager?

                              @wmcclelion sadly @Botolo seems to be very busy nowadays. And he is the webdevelopment guy...

                                Has anyone tried to run this lately? I've just installed this and am getting an error:

                                "A server error occurred, please contact the administrator."

                                  @robertybob did you installed using the RetroPie-Setup? If yes, can you paste the log somewhere? (I like ghostbin.com for pasting long files).

                                    I have the exact same issue

                                    "A server error occurred, please contact the administrator."

                                    I have installed it via the RetroPie Setup

                                          @robertybob look at your /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs/ ;-)
                                          The RetroPie-Setup logs are named as rps_TIME_STAMP.log.gz and are gziped, but you can read it with the zless command.
