[solved]launch script at startup

wwwlu

I use an arduino to shutdown (and start) my Orange Pi pc plus (on Lubuntu) by sending "stop" via the serial port
The following python script works fine when I launch it manually  (sudo python off.py)
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: latin-1 -*-
import serial
import os
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS0', 9600)
while True :
        data = ser.readline()
        if "stop" in data:
                os.system('sudo shutdown -h now')


Now I try to execute this script automatically at startup

I entered the following line:
sudo python off.py
at the end of:
sudo nano /etc/profile

result:
Error found when loading /etc/profile:
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
as a result the session will not be configured correctly
you should fix the problem as soon as feasible

It seems the serial port is not yet open when the script is executed

So I tried to launch the script via "default applications for LXSession" but the shutdown instruction requires to be super user (so it cannot be automatic)

In conclusion: before opening the session the serial port is closed, and after the script cannot shutdown the OPI

Anyone has a solution please ?

Hi, try to add the command to /etc/rc.local instead /etc/profile:

1. 
   
2. exec python off.py

Copy code

than go in system -> preference -> personal -> startup applications and add the command

1. sudo /etc/rc.local start

Copy code

This should works (i hope); in case, point the rc.local command to /path/to/off.py

Good luck
