Qt application in embedded linux startup

[hakanaktan]

i have an embedded linux device and an application that has to start after boot.
linux : Linux 3.12.10-ti2013.12.01 armv7l

at the end of file "/etc/init.d/rc" , i added this line:

cd /home/root/ && /home/root/ApplicationName

it gives error: "Permission denied"
if i run the application manually one time, then it works fine at every start up.

i tried the line below but it gives error "command not found"

cd /home/root/ && chmod +x /home/root/ApplicationName && /home/root/ApplicationName

how should i start the application?
note: startup does not have a login.

Do you do anything special when you do start it manually or are you just repeating the command you have in the startup file?

cd /home/root/ && /home/root/ApplicationName
it gives error: "Permission denied"

Possibly because:

ApplicationName is not marked executable (as you guessed)
ApplicationName tries to write something somewhere it has no permission and bombs. Perhaps the filesystem is still mounted read-only at that time.
/home/root is on a filesystem marked noexec (which may or may not affect the init process)


if i run the application manually one time, then it works fine at every start up.
Maybe, but you are probably running it from a shell with a different environment and after the system is fully booted.


i tried the line below but it gives error "command not found"
cd /home/root/ && chmod +x /home/root/ApplicationName && /home/root/ApplicationName

Probably because the limited embedded Linux does not have a chmod command or it is not in the PATH available at the time. This should not be necessary though, set the x flag on the file once and it should stay.

Or readonly...
