Hello community,
I'd like to start ros directly after ubuntu system start... Is anybody using daemontools ?

I don't know if you're only looking to use daemontools, but here is what I use to start ROS automatically. I've commented the code to explain what I'm doing.
Copy this script to /etc/init.d and then execute the following command:
sudo update-rc.d script-name defaults 99
ROS will now boot on startup into a seperate screen. The only catch is that it boots as the root user. Thus, to access it, you must use the command:
sudo screen -r
and it will bring you to the terminal containing the ROS graph.
I tried your script but it didn't work for me. The source path is definitely right but the output of the console when booting is /etc/rc2.d/S99panda_cam_startup: 45: source: not found Found /etc/rc2.d/S99panda_cam_startup: 45: bc: not found /etc/rc2.d/S99panda_cam_startup: 45: screen: not found
Hi,
We have created bash -> .sh file in which roslaunch command is written.
In Ubuntu System->preference->startup application .. using gnome-terminal +x <name>.sh we executed the command to autostart the ROS when Ubuntu boots.
Hope it helps. Prasad
ReHi :-) Yes, I've seen this startup scripts, but what about monitoring the running nodes ? Simple scripts or autostart methods fork and forget the started processes. Daemontools are checking the services and restart registered processes after a crash or failure.
Cheers Christian
