Comments on: mythfrontend startup scripts for mythpywii http://function45.com/archives/275 a memory repository Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:22:43 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: F45 http://function45.com/archives/275/comment-page-1#comment-1236 F45 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:41:02 +0000 http://function45.com/?p=275#comment-1236 Yes it is possible to run the script at the same time as you run mythfrontend – I do so by modifying my mythfrontend shell script script and running MythPyWii using screen. In Ubuntu, open a terminal and run the following commands: sudo apt-get install screen; sudo gedit /usr/bin/mythfrontend Then I add to the first blank line (line 4 for me): /usr/bin/screen -d -m /usr/bin/python /home/crayzee/Desktop/myth_py_wii.py You’ll have to do this whenever you update mythfrontend. Another way to do it is to create a new script (e.g. “~/launchmyth.sh”) which contains something like this: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/screen -d -m /usr/bin/python /home/crayzee/Desktop/myth_py_wii.py /usr/bin/mythfrontend And then run that instead of “mythfrontend” (e.g. “bash ~/launchmyth.sh”).
