screen at bootup?

[mtwiscool]

I want to be able to run screen with a .sh script at boot up.

I have tried corn jobs but it won't launch.

Is they any way to do this?

Do a search for rc scripts, that's what you need.

The way that I launch unattended screen sessions from a script is:

screen -d -m process_name

Try to put the command in your /etc/rc.local file.

nano /etc/rc.local

Before the exit put your command with 'screen -d -m' before it. If you don't wish to run as root then su - <user> -c "screen -d -m command" &

Then exit and restart server to check.

Not working

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
screen -d -m ./1.sh
exit 0

Your need to put the full location of the script and not ./

Correct, have you tried that?

[mtwiscool]

Yes i have tried that and it does not work.

Just create a new /etc/init.d/ script and launch it from there.

Forget about /etc//rc.local

Where is the screen command?

Which OS?

@OP can you elaborate on what "doesn't work" means?  Are you seeing errors in your logs?  Did it do nothing? Is it giving you a path issue?

what error log is it in?

 

[raj]

Depends on what you're running.  Check /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog or /var/log/daemon or something of that sort.

Strange nothing in the logs for this #strange

IIRC, rc.local won't work because of the tty/devfs system isn't init'd/mounted until after.
