Run command at start?

[onesojourner]

I am trying to run SNESDev when retropie boots. I am not sure what the proper way to do this is. Currently I can manually run sudo SNESDev and everything works correctly.

@onesojourner Ok, have not given up on snesdev yet since it is working. I just need it to start when the system boots.

If I run
Sudo /user/local/bin/SNESDev &

I get my controller working and I can shut down my ssh session and things continue to work. I tried to run:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local

And added Sudo /user/local/bin/SNESDev &

Before and after the exit but it still did not allow my controller to be used.

Does anyone have any tips for getting this to run at boot?

@onesojourner linux is case sensitive. There's no command named Sudo. Its name is sudo.

Also if you are using the module from the setup script it should be set to run on boot automatically or at least has an option for it.

Sorry, that was a smart phone correction. It is all lowercase.

I have ran the option to have SNESDev start at boot but it has no effect.

@onesojourner vaguely remember a post somewhere about it initialising too late or something where adding a sleep function may have helped... I haven't really used it myself

I ended up setting up a cron job and got this working.
