Raspberry Pi

[steptoe]

hello,

I running Raspbian on my Pi and want to run a script on start up,

anyone know where I need to put it?

You need to put your script in etc/init.d, make it executable and call it on startup by using update rc.d to add it to startups

But don't know if that works with your flavour of linux

well, thats what I thought,

unfortunately it conflicted with my auto log-in that is in there too, and my autorun script was trying to run before the log in had completed,

it kept going into an infinite loop and wouldnt let me do anything else,,,,  

ended up putting it in bash.rc

seems to be doing its job,

just need to make sure it doesnt keep trying to run when I exit it and try use the terminal in X mode now.

so far so good, need to get the woodwork tools out this weekend now,
