OK, we probably need to go back a few steps.
If you have the Rivendell init script working, the daemons should be
loading fine.
After a reboot (without any startrivendell.sh or systemd stuff), is caed
running?
ps -C caed
If not run caed manually and take note of the error it gives you. There
are usually two things that stop it running:
/var/run/rivendell doesn't exist or you haven't run rdadmin yet.
If caed isn't running by itself on reboot then your init script isn't
working for whatever reason.

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.

You can do sudo if you add a NOPASSWD flag via visudo to the
script you need to run as sudo but thats getting ahead.
The Rivendell init script does three things:
1. Create /var/run/rivendell and chown it to the rivendell group
2. Run /usr/sbin/rdcleandirs (seems to be a relatively new thing,
I don't remember seeing it in v2.11)
3. Runs caed, ripcd and rdcatchd
Other than the /var/run/rivendell bit you can run these as your
logged in user, they don't need root access. In some ways if
you're using JACK it is actually easier not to run as root.
The Pi uses Debian Jessie these days and I think systemd runs on
that. You could try these scripts I made for Ubuntu 16.04, in
principle it should work:

/user/local/bin/caed etc do not seem to start rivendell. Only
sudo /etc/init.d/rivendell start. I don't think you can have sudo
run in a script though, can you? Don't know what else to try.

In theory you could replace the exec line with a script:
Exec=/home/pi/startRivendell.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/caed &
/usr/local/bin/ripcd &
/usr/local/bin/rdcatchd &
sleep 5
/usr/local/bin/rdairplay
remember to chmod it (chmod ug+x /home/pi/startRivendell.sh)
You could also make the script wait until caed etc starts:
#!/bin/bash
#Wait for CAED
WAIT=1
while [ $WAIT == 1 ]; do
pidof caed >/dev/null
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
WAIT = 0
fi
#Wait 1 second before trying again
sleep 1
done
#Load airplay
/usr/local/bin/rdairplay

I did try the autostart route. It complained about missing
daemons. I this is because also in rc.local I have the
daemons starting as /etc/init.d/rivendell start. From
looking at system log it seems that the programs in
autostart happens before rc.local runs so rdairplay in
autostart doesn't seem the daemons. I guess the question
then is how to maybe start the daemons before autostart
runs. I look around but didn't see any way autostarting via
gui. Thanks for your help!

don't bother with rc.local it doesn't always work and
its hard to figure out why.
I have an older pi running wheezy as opposed to the
newer jessie build.
Inside the users directory I have this:
/home/pi/.config/autostart
I'm not sure if any scripts work here but the standard
Linux desktop files work e.g. a file something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/local/bin/rdairplay
You can copy/paste an existing desktop file into here
and it should work. Also have a look around your system
settings for startup applications, if you have that (I
think the newer Pi OS' do) then just use the GUI to do it.

Hi all,
I have been pulling my hair out trying to autostart
rdairplay on a pi. I have created a script to do this
called rdairplay located at /home/bananapi. I then
added the script to rc.local like this. sudo sh
/etc/init.d/rdairplay. I then go to terminal and run
sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start and it runs fine and
rdairplay comes up. However when I reboot it does not
run the rdairplay application. I have tried everything
I know. Why would it run manually, but not on reboot.
Is there a better or different way to do this?
