Help with autostart please? :)

[Utking]

Hi guys!

Been trying to get autostart to work on my RPI without luck :/

The server works perfect, but as soon as i close the terminal, it exits.

Now i've been trying to follow the autostart guide here on the forum, without any luck.

does anyone care to help me

Hey LogicParrot!

Yeah i tried to follow it, but no matter what i did it wouldn't autostart :/ 
how should i write the path thing? I have Cuberite installed in default location, so when i start it i use cd Server; ./Cuberite.


su - minecraft -c 'tmux new -d "Server; ./Cuberite" '

is this correct then?
thx, i'm still learning in the linux jungle, lol

You need to specify the full path. `./cuberite` is a relative path, and will not work. I don't know what your "default location" is.

If you are not sure what the full path is, do this:

cd Server
pwd # This will print the full path

Let's suppose it prints: `/home/minecraft/cuberite/Server`. If so, what you'd need to do is:


su - minecraft -c 'tmux new -d "/home/minecraft/cuberite/Server/Cuberite" '

Actually, this would start cuberite from within your home directory. Shouldn't you do

su - minecraft -c \'tmux new -d "cd /home/minecraft/cuberite/Server && ./Cuberite" \'

??

Hmm, i used the full path, but still can't get it to work :/ nothing happens when i boot up again.
Oh, on the minecraft launcher i cant even launch Cuberite, even after adding minecraft user to sudoers etc. I tried to just use the standard user which is Pi on mine, but it won't work there either

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Try simply running this in a terminal, ( put your own path though)
sudo su - minecraft -c 'tmux new -d /YOUR/PATH/Cuberite" '

What is the output?

Aren't these the same in this context?

[bearbin]

No, the worlds and configuration files will be placed in the current directory, not the directory where the binary is located. Unless tmux is being strange, that's what should happen?

when i write sudo su - minecraft -c 'tmux new -d "/home/pi/Server/Cuberite" '

i don't get any output,  no process when i run top either :/

Edit: tmux is running though.!
