When Box Of Stops is first installed, it will automatically configure itself to auto-start. This means it will launch itself automatically whenever the Raspberry Pi is booted up.
Controlling auto start
If this is not wanted, it can be disabled from Application properties. The auto.start property can be set to:
- true To enable Box Of Stops to start itself
- false To prevent Box Of Stops from starting itself when the Pi is booted
- If it has no value, the /etc/rc.local file will be left unchanged. This is mainly useful if you would like to avoid the need for special permissions to run Box Of Stops - see the topic on the sudo command for more information on this
Note, after the changing the auto.start property, Box Of Stops should be started again, to pick up the change. In detail, what this means is the /etc/rc.local file will be changed appropriately.
