Raspberry pi run command on startup
I am trying to get my PI to automatically run a bash command whenever the pi is booted.
The ultimate goal is to open the "localhost" web page.
I ran
crontab -e
to open my crontab, and added this to the end of the file:
@reboot chromium-browser --kiosk localhost
but when i reboot the pi, nothing appears to happen. i then added this to test to see if crontab was even running or if i had formatting wrong:
@reboot cd && sudo touch sucess
But it executed exactly as expected
What am i missing?
EDIT 1:
I did try doing this but it still didn't execute:
@reboot cd && chromium-browser --kiosk localhost
cron raspberrypi
