I added the startup script to /etc/rc.local string /home/user/zecminer/start.sh but autorun on reboot does not happen. And I tried to create autorun scripts according to the ubuntu standard, but it did not work either. What am I doing wrong?
MAKE SURE THAT YOU TEST THE INDIVIDUAL MINER SCRIPTS FIRST--
Full paths with no typos are required. I mined on Lubuntu prior to using ethOS, and had to compose my own scripts. Getting them to run right was sometimes a pain, and simple typos were often the reason for failure. Also, be sure to make all scripts executable with the command "chmod +x script.sh", or Linux will just see the script as a text file. My personal scripts were written and stored in the home directory, "/home/username/script.sh".
It is also possible to call a startup script from cron. --scryptr
EDIT: CRYPTOBADGER IS ALIVE AND WELL--
CryptoBadger is a mining guru that has tutorials on how to build and run Linux and Windows mining rigs. His tutorials date to the early LiteCoin era. Many miners have built rigs using his guides.
In short, on his site (
www.cryptobadger.com), there are cryptomining guides. Look up his latest guide to build an Ethereum rig. In part 2 (Linux), step 7, he describes auto-start scripts. Follow his lead. --scryptr
