Booting a bash file at startup

[rablack97]

I'm sure this has been posted before but i have a bashfile i want to boot into at start up. I found the thread discussing the autostart.sh folder, just not sure what i would need to add to it to point to the bash file.

You would just add the path to the bash script in the autostart.sh file. For example -

pi@retropie:~ $ cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
/path/to/your/bashscript.sh
emulationstation #auto

Also, ensure your bash script has the executable bit set:

chmod a+x /path/to/your/bashscript.sh

@rablack97 Depending on what your bash script does, maybe the autostart.sh isn't the best approach... Maybe putting /etc/rc.local can works better for your purpose.

@meleu it's a command line for daphne i want the pie to boot straight to DL.

where would i put that command?

@rablack97 and not launch emulationstation?

[rablack97]

@meleu yes

Modifying the autostart.sh worked
