I am working on a BBB device running on an Angstrom image and the display panel is a 7 inch LCD cape. I want to start an application as soon as log-in message prompts means the application should get start automatically just after the booting. To achieve this I tried
1) To put my script files in /etc/init.d and linked the script with /etc/rc5.d as S99myscript and then updated the rc.d
But it was not an successful attempt.
2) I changed the /etc/issue file a little bit and to invoke the script i appended myscript file in the last as this.
. /home/root/myscript
// tried it like this also
sh . /home/root/myscript
but this time also i couldn't get my desired result.
What's i am missing ? Or how can I get the result.
The service file
Status of service file

I have a ReactJS-neo4j application, deployed on a cloud server. Currently, i create backups of my databases manually.
Now I want to automate this process. I want to automatically execute the above query every day
Can anyone tell me how to automate the above process ?
You need to change your neo4j configuration file found in <HOME_neo4j>/conf/neo4j.conf as below. The location of the file is different if you are not using Linux server, like Debian.
apoc.export.file.enabled=true
apoc.import.file.use_neo4j_config=false
The 2nd line will enable you to save the json file from default folder "import" to any folder you want.
Then open a terminal (or ssh) that connects to your cloud server. Go to <HOME_neo4j> directory where cypher-shell is installed. Copy and run this one liner script below.
echo "CALL apoc.export.json.all(\"/home/backups/deploymentName/backup_mydeployment.json\", { useTypes: true } )" | bin/cypher-shell -u neo4j -p <awesome_psw> --format plain
This will save the json file in /home/backups/deploymentName just like what you do in your neo4j browser.
I will leave it up to you on 1) how to add the timestamp YYMMDD0000_ in the filename via linux command and 2) schedule the job every midnight via crontab. Goodluck!
I have tomcat9 on linux as an on demand service, go into /bin and start. I have a simple setenv.sh, shown below, that now fails show second below. Everything is standard no other changes. TC does startup how I need those options working. How could this have gone from working to non-working. How can I get again working and loading the setenv.sh?
setenv.sh: CATALINA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -Djasypt.encryptor.password=123
on startup or shutdown this first message. of course catalina.sh is in the executing directory.
./catalina.sh: 1: /usr/tomcat/tc9/bin/setenv.sh:
-Djasypt.encryptor.password=123: not found
I am working with Ubuntu 16.04 and I have two shell scripts:
run_roscore.sh : This one fires up a roscore in one terminal.
run_detection_node.sh : This one starts an object detection node in another terminal and should start up once run_roscore.sh has initialized the roscore.
I need both the scripts to execute as soon as the system boots up.
I made both scripts executable and then added the following command to cron:
#reboot /path/to/run_roscore.sh; /path/to/run_detection_node.sh, but it is not running.
I have also tried adding both scripts to the Startup Applications using this command for roscore: sh /path/to/run_roscore.sh and following command for detection node: sh /path/to/run_detection_node.sh. And it still does not work.
How do I get these scripts to run?
EDIT: I used the following command to see the system log for the CRON process: grep CRON /var/log/syslog and got the following output:
CRON[570]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output).
So I installed MTA and then systemlog shows:
CRON[597]: (nvidia) CMD (/path/to/run_roscore.sh; /path/to/run_detection_node.sh)
I am still not able to see the output (which is supposed to be a camera stream with detections, as I see it when I run the scripts directly in a terminal). How should I proceed?
Since I got this working eventually, I am gonna answer my own question here.
I did the following steps to get the script running from startup:
Changed the type of the script from shell to bash (extension .bash).
Changed the shebang statement to be #!/bin/bash.
In Startup Applications, give the command bash path/to/script to run the script.
Basically when I changed the shell type from sh to bash, the script starts running as soon as the system boots up.
Note, in case this helps someone: My intention to have run_roscore.bash as a separate script was to run roscore as a background process. One can run it directly from a single script (which is also running the detection node) by having roscore& as a command before the rosnode starts. This command will fire up the master as a background process and leave the same terminal open for following commands to be executed.
If you could install immortal you could use the require option to start in sequence your services, for example, this is could be the run config for /etc/immortal/script1.yml:
cmd: /path/to/script1
log:
file: /var/log/script1.log
wait: 1
require:
- script2
And for /etc/immortal/script2.yml
cmd: /path/to/script2
log:
file: /var/log/script2.log
What this will do it will try to start both scripts on boot time, the first one script1 will wait 1 second before starting and also wait for script2 to be up and running, see more about the wait and require option here: https://immortal.run/post/immortal/
Based on your operating system you will need to configure/setup immortaldir, her is how to do it for Linux: https://immortal.run/post/how-to-install/
Going more deep in the topic of supervisors there are more alternatives here you could find some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_supervision
If you want to make sure that "Roscore" (whatever it is) gets started when your Ubuntu starts up then you should start it as a service (not via cron).

I use the Python3 API of mikrotik to create some backups files,
When celery executes the python script the process doesn’t complete
and the backup file is not created . I attach a screenshot so you can see the output from the api.
Any suggestion, please advice.
When I run the python script it works fine but when the script runs through celery i get this output. So I examined the api code and I added "time.sleep( 5 )" after the line with "apiros.writeSentence(inputsentence)" and it works fine. Seems that the api returns before the end of the backup process and sends the output to /dev/null
Following this question, how do I launch instruments with iPhone simulator as a device.
I tried this:
$ instruments -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -w iphonesimulator5.0 MyApp.app
But I get this error:
Instruments Usage Error : Device failed to become ready for use.
-w <deviceID> is used only when you wish to specify a hardware device as the destination (the 'deviceID' here is the Identifier of the device, found in the Organizer of Xcode).
Instead of using -w, you can specify a flag during the build to force instruments to use iPhone. Details can be found here.
I was doing it as follows:
1.I created a template in which I was calling my UI Automation Main file that Triggers running all the scripts.
EX:
//Main.js file will run auto.js scripts
//auto.js is my main file in which I am running all the scripts
//Main.js file
#import "auto.js"
auto.run();
//Now open terminal and run the following command.
1. Go to the directory where you saved your template
2.Copy the location where you simulator (full path) is
Than run the command below:
instruments -t ./NameOfYourTemplate.tracetemplate /Users/swathyvalluri/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.app
Note : Create a new file in the template and copy the contents into it what ever you want to put, otherwise it will look for Main.js file in your locally and will fail when running it on another server.
Please let me know if you need more help :)
Device id means here UDID of the device.
