I'm working on a Raspberry Pi running nextjs (node server) connected with nginx. I tried using x-terminal-emulator ‘/usr/bin/bash -c /home/pi/Desktop/startup.sh’ but many of them didn’t recognize /usr/bin/bash as a directory and most of them didn’t budge to execute the script. In how many ways can I start my bash script? What is the most useful way possible?

These are the ways that I tried and the errors corresponding to them.

• contrab -e: Didn’t budge to execute the command line
• rc.local: DIdn’t budge to execute the command line
• systemd: /usr/bin/bash file or directory doesn’t exist.

I’ve must of been using them incorrectly. If so what is the way to use them?

This recipe allows you to launch node server at system boot. In this recipe it is assumed that you have a node server running on port 3000.

Steps

1. Add node server to the rc.local file

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add the following line to the rc.local file

sudo node /home/pi/node_server.js

2. Make rc.local executable

sudo chmod x /etc/rc.local

3. Reboot the system

sudo reboot

4. Verify that the server is running at boot

sudo netstat –lntp | grep 3000

This should output node server which is running on port 3000.

5. Verify that the server is accessible from remote computer

curl -i http://<ip_address>:3000
