Deamon OTGW plugin
Hi all,
I hooked-up my OTGW and installed the plugin. However i cant seem to start the OTmonitor at reboot and need to manualy start the service everytime by using ./otmonitor-ahf --deamon -f /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor.conf is there any way to run this at startup correctly?
@stingone You can add it to /etc/rc.local as an extra line 
Thats it? i tried the way as discribed in the plugin section but that does not work. i will try this…

I tried the script below without succes… manualy it works even tried with & ampersand on the end.
sudo /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor-ahf --daemon -f /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor.conf
exit 0
or maybe edit the crontab. I did that with my emon pi to set the serial speed on reboot.
just edit it with sudo crontab -e and then copy the following command at the end of the crontab :
@reboot sudo /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor-ahf --daemon -f /opt/otmonitor/otmonitor.conf

with the crontab you can automate jobs which return every X seconds/ minutes/hours/days etc.
with the @reboot option the cron will execute the command at the reboot of the pi. that’s the magic
