You can do it from cron. You need to specify the paths of everything to make sure it picks it up.
For example, first run "crontab -e" to open the crontab and add this line at the end. Alter the parts in <>'s to your own This is the basic one: @reboot <path to tiddly>/tiddlywiki <full path to wiki> --server To get the <path to tiddly> run "whereis tiddlywiki". An example fully filled out one would be: @reboot /usr/local/bin/tiddlywiki /home/user/tiddly/mywiki --server You can add your extra server options as well to add user names and remote access like so: @reboot /usr/local/bin/tiddlywiki /home/user/tiddly/mywiki --server 8080 "" "" "" "<username>" "<password>" 0.0.0.0 "" On Sunday, 12 January 2014 23:47:22 UTC, Wildscot wrote: > > I've installed TW5 with node.js on a VPS running Ubuntu Server 12.04. > > I'm looking for the best way to have the 'tiddlywiki --server' launch when > I boot the server, rather than manually. > I'm new to node.js and from having a quick look it seems I want to be > looking at 'forever' and an upstart script, does that sound about right? > > Before I start delving into it I thought I'd check with the community > whether I was barking up the right tree or whether there was another > recommended approach. > > Many Thanks, > > James > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
