Custom Script not running at startup despite following guidance...

@lackyluuk - thanks but, as above, tried that already. No joy

@Substring.
Finally getting somewhere! Did as you directed, and the log reads:

[       16.71] : Starting S92switch
[       16.73] : script /recalbox/scripts/powerswitch.sh [ STARTED ]
[       17.05] : Starting S94manager
Will not start pm2 : system.api.enabled is set to 0
[       17.32] : Launching FanControl

And that's the end of the log at startup. The fan doesn't run, but it does if I run the py script from shell.

Also tried:

/usr/bin/python fanControl.py

from shell - script booted fine.

also added logging after the python call in the bash script. This also logged, indicating the python call didn't crash the bash script?

[       17.07] : Launching FanControl
[       17.17] : fanControl call made.

So - it's looking like python is the culprit? What's next?

@stigzler You must understand that a init script doesn't have tne same environment as a logged in user. That's why I suggested you put the full path to python in the custom.sh. I do mean it

Go on the IRC channel, there is a link in the topbar. Then call me with @substring, and be patient (I'm on CEST timezone)

It was 1am when you tried to poke me lol

[stigzler]

@substring - apologies on there now..

[Substring]

So, there were 2 culprits :

• had to start the .py as multiprocess
• the script tried to open an unexisting logfile : forced the path

Many thanks @SubString. Actually remoted into my machine and sorted it all for me. What a star!
