It seems that i am failing big time to make aria2 autostart on boot.
Config:
- Raspberry Pi 2
- OSMC
- Aria v 1.18.8 (latest apt-get)
Tried to make aria2 autostart via 3 methods:
- init.d
- systemd
- crontab
Also tried the guidance here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194644
All above work ok. Note that i can start aria using either the init.d script or by using systemctl start.
My /var/log/aria2.log after startup:
2015-10-20 16:48:29.134906 [ERROR] [HttpListenCommand.cc:114] IPv4 RPC: failed to bind TCP port 10101

rc.localor atleast have some mechanism to make sure that network is up and running by the time you call your script. A recent very similar question (ie, usiing network services) : raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/37424/… Hope it helps.
