It's also possible to log to (for example) syslog. Once that's done, symlink that directory into /etc/service so daemontools automatically (re)starts it: cd /etc/serviceĪfter about 5 seconds your program should run. Have a look at /service/my-service/run and edit it, so it starts your own program instead of running echo.

# Replace those 2 lines with a real call to your program like this: Then create your service directory containing an executable run script: # create the service directoryĮcho 'I'm an example service executed by daemontools' Just apt-get install daemontools daemontools-run daemontools will then make sure that your program is started and restarted should it crash for any reason. Basically you create a service directory which contains a run shell script that starts your program. It's pretty simple to setup (and is included in Raspbian). I personally would recommend using daemontools instead. But problems occur once the started program crashes for any reason because it won't get restarted, since there no process monitoring. The answer by Xer0FyT is probably the simplest way to automatically start a program on the PI.
