    Hello.

    I have a question about adding my python script to start at boot. Because of I have a program which receive data from ZigBee modules. ZigBee coordinator are connected to the MTCDP-H5 via usb. It is not convinient to start my program by myself, because I’m going to place it on a streetlight. I try to add symlink to the /etc/init.d directoru and did the update-rc.d command, but nothing happend. Can you help me with my issue?

    Hi Vladimir,

    Did you look at the screen shots that I included in the case #5049707 ? The screen shots showed how to add a python script to start at boot.

    Thanks,

    BT

    I find it quite easy to do this with cron.

    Run crontab -e and add @reboot /usr/bin/python PATH-TO-YOUR-SCRIPT. Exit vi and reboot the device. Your script should be running.
