Perhaps try the full path of Chromium (/usr/bin/chromium-browser) instead? Maybe the PATH isn't as expected.

Have you tried deleting the existing code and just using your script, then exit 0? Maybe that would work if there's an error that we've not noticed earlier in the script?

If chromium-browser doesn't run, either: rc.local isn't running at all (not likely); an error occurred before that line so the script stopped (possible) or the error occurred on that line. Could you edit to include your full rc.local?

Ok, mine is a script that gives a live output about its status, and it would be better if I could see it, so, yes I'd like my terminal to be interactive, but actually I'm trying to debug a script that isn't working (when it times out I reboot the system and that's why I need it to run at startup). I also need to open chromium at startup and, since crontab can't open GUI programs, I thought that opening a terminal and writing chromium-browser automatically at startup would be the best solution. What do you suggest?

Also, I'd conjecture that the issue is cd path, ./script. Replace those two lines with the full path of your script e.g. /home/user/script instead and test it again. Let me know if that works so I can post a full answer for you.

| Nov 3, 2017 at 15:19 | comment | added | Aurora0001 | Do you really want the terminal to be interactive (i.e. as if you typed it into a new terminal), or are you just trying to debug why your script isn't working but would otherwise be happy for it to run in the background? | |
