Hi all
trying to get xbmc to autostart but failing at the moment
Using the following script as in the guide
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...nit_script
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: xbmc
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: starts instance of XBMC
# Description: starts instance of XBMC using start-stop-daemon and xinit
### END INIT INFO
############### EDIT ME ##################
# path to xinit exec
DAEMON=/usr/bin/xinit
# startup args
DAEMON_OPTS=" /usr/local/bin/xbmc --standalone -- :0"
# script name
NAME=xbmc
# app name
DESC=XBMC
# user
RUN_AS=sterfield
# Path of the PID file
PID_FILE=/var/run/xbmc.pid
############### END EDIT ME ##################
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting $DESC"
start-stop-daemon --start -c $RUN_AS --background --pidfile $PID_FILE --make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping $DESC"
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PID_FILE
;;
restart|force-reload)
echo "Restarting $DESC"
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PID_FILE
sleep 5
start-stop-daemon --start -c $RUN_AS --background --pidfile $PID_FILE --make-pidfile --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Ive changed the bin location to
# startup args
DAEMON_OPTS=" /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone -- :0"
also changed the user of course
But its not starting - any ideas what Im doing wrong ----I can start xbmc manually using sudo xinit xbmc
Previously ive installed xbmc live to do the autostart - not sure now
Thanks
