Starting web socket at boot

[milehighkaraoke]

Is there a way to automatically start the websocket at boot. Nginx is in crontab and starts automatic at boot. I tried following it with another crontab for the websocket without success. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as manually starting services everytime I reboot is annoying.

I tried this without success. The only way it starts for me is to manually run the command.

been few updates today so do a git pull maybe

cd /var/www/html/AVideo/ && sudo git pull

cd /var/www/html/YouPHPTube/ && sudo git pull

Root crontab is identical.Gitpull is complete.....Nginx starts on boot but the websocket has to still be manually started.

I'll update the wiki that @DanielnetoDotCom wrote . The script is missing the most important thing at boot/reboot ( Sleep time ).
The socket can not start at boot before giving Apache few seconds to load modules , so the script fails .

Replace your crontab with this ;

@reboot sleep 60;nohup php /var/www/html/AVideo/plugin/YPTSocket/server.php &

The script will start 60s after boot/reboot ( is enough time and recommended to avoid issues )

I am getting the same results. Waited 5 minutes and socket is still disconnected. Updated crontab to 120 seconds did a reboot and still will not connect with a crontab command

[milehighkaraoke]

I think k it might be a permissions issue. When I log off of my Ubuntu user account , i just noticed that the socket disconnects

@milehighkaraoke it's not . Look at what you wrote . Must be a space between php and /var/ww.....

copy and past this :

@reboot sleep 60; nohup php /var/www/MHKTube/plugin/YPTSocket/server.php &
