php-Boy

An in house wall diplay for general information

requires raspberry pi with java and chromium

@lxterminal was added to ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart to create a terminal at startup

The line ./superscript was added to ~.bashrc

a file called superscript was created and reads: sudo java -jar /var/www/html/ZooqleTopSeedstofile.jar & /var/www/html/UpdateFromGit.sh /var/www/html/keepchromiumopen.sh

on login the pi now, updates from git, opens chromium (reopens if it crashes) and opens a java program to scrape/process data

alt text

keep the screen on:

  1. type sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf in terminal

  2. Find [Seat:*] in the file and add xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms to the line below

  3. Reboot
