@BigP0P5 I spent ages last night trying to get the script to run on reboot with the Pi. It runs fine on the Omega 2+ just in rc.local. Sometimes it worked with the Pi but sometimes it didn’t.
As pointed out by @Lichtsignaal the definitive method normally recommended is with /etc/init.d but even that sometimes fails on the Pi for node. The service in /etc/init.d will be running but not node.
So it requires the npm package forever and forever-service.
sudo cp /path_to_blynk-test.js/blynk-test.js /home/pi/app.js
sudo npm install forever -g
sudo npm install forever-service -g
sudo forever-service install BlynkService
Check if everything is working with:
sudo service BlynkService start
sudo service BlynkService status
sudo service BlynkService stop
sudo service BlynkService restart
Then you can use the easy start on reboot method:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
sudo service BlynkService start
sudo shutdown -r now
After reboot the following will confirm the script and service is running
ps aux | grep node
sudo service BlynkService status
service --status-all | grep BlynkService
You will not see the Console but a full log will go to /var/log/BlynkService.log including any error messages for incorrect path’s etc. If the console is important you can always tail the log with:
tail -f /var/log/BlynkService.log
Tested and working flawlessly on one of my Pi’s but be patient waiting for the service to start.
