How to auto run python script.

There are several ways to auto run python script.

Here's one way to do that.

setup /etc/rc.local

Raspberry Pi2 + raspbian

Setup by following http://qiita.com/7of9/items/ec9e38f84bc4351c5ee3

With root priviledge, add following lines to auto-run python script:

## for FileMessenger
cd /home/pi/python-160227-FileMessenger
nohup ./FileMessenger.py &

## for BYOP:Bring your own PiZero
cd /home/pi/python-160224-BYOP-main/
nohup ./BYOP-main.py &

exit 0

After the restart of the Raspberry Pi, you can check the scripts running by ps command.

BYOP-main.py will be automatically finished. So, ps command may not show the BYOP-main.py depending on the time.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ps aux | grep 15
