The connection issue is easy to fix. Just check the box on the APRS-IS port configuration panel to "retry connect indefinitely". Then it will keep retrying until the network does come up.

Subject: Re: [yaac-users] Pi autostart
Great responses everyone thanks! I ended up using a symbolic link in /home/pi/.config/autostart/ to the menu item and it's working almost perfectly. It was much easier to implement than many of the other options!
YACC gets started, but comes up quickly, possibly before networking is available and causes an error dialog that it can't connect to the APRS-IS. Simply retrying manually gets it connected.
pi@packetpi:~/.config/autostart $ ln -s /usr/share/applications/yaac.desktop
pi@packetpi:~/.config/autostart $ ls -l
