Write a startup script to launch the photobooth once the raspberry pi is turned on. Need to deal with how Google Drive gets logged into.

Experimented with a desktop shortcut instead, problems with the current working directory not being correct and the terminal/app dies instantly if any errors occur. This wouldn't be an issue if we could make sure any and all output is directed to a file to know what caused the app to die.

If Google account details are saved in the browser, authenticating to Google Drive should be an automatic process.

Need to consider making sure we are connected to a network for backing up to Google Drive too.
