Revision history [back]

In case people are still looking for the solution on how to get zumili's init.d script to work:

It seems that roslaunch does not find rosmaster. I quickly checked and saw that it is not in /usr/bin (and possibly it is not meant to be there). I checked my environment variables and everything seemed to be fine. Also python (as used in roslaunch) is supposed to look for executables in the PATH variable. But even adding /opt/ros/groovy/bin (where rosmaster is located) did not help.

So I went for the workaround of putting a symlink to rosmaster in /usr/bin:

sudo ln -s /opt/ros/groovy/bin/rosmaster /usr/bin/rosmaster

It is a workaround but it does the job (at least for me).
