Ok wayne, Here is what I did. I created a file called startrivendell.sh. In it is this
#!/bin/bash sudo /etc/init.d/rivendell start /usr/local/bin/rdairplay I have it linked to the rdairplay icon in autostart folder I edited visudo with this: %bananapi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/bananapi/startrivendell.sh Still this won't work on startup.
