Re: Struggling to Run rtl_fm and direwolf as a service, or startup, or something -- tried all the things from previous posts


 

Hi Paul, I followed these instructions:
I had no problems and everything fired up fine. Accessing Direwolf after that requires using tmux as I recall.
If this does not work for you, maybe it has something to do with the SDR. I am not familiar with that.
I am running a RPi (2?), the first version anyway with a super cheap sound dongle from China by way of Ebay and using the GPIO from the Pi for PTT (details not included, but I have posted my hand drawn schematic here somewhere).
I hope this helps you out.

Well, here I am after going through all the existing threads, unable to get this working on my Pi3 / SDR dongle setup.

I can run from a command prompt as the pi user all day long, but I'll be damned if I can't figure out how to run this on startup.

I see references to screens, tmux, crontab, shell scripts, etc. I hope not to waste everyone's time but I really some hand-holding here. My shell script won't do anything from a command prompt except return to a command prompt. Using ps or top, I don't see direwolf or rtl_fm running.

Any help would be fantastic.

Thanks,
