MMM-GoogleAssistant autostart

Thanks for clarifying. Any idea on the process id changing with

ps -ef | grep assistant

??

@poopyurinal sounds like assistant is ending on its own.

When u do this manually, do you have to be in the module folder?

If you run the python3 path…/assistant.py

When u are NOT in the module folder, does it work, or give an error?

poopyurinal

I can run the command:

python3 /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py

as long as I first run:

source /env/bin/activate

It works appropriately after running those two commands. Running the top command in this post without running the bottom command results in an error.

@poopyurinal ok, make a two line script to execute both commands, and use that script as the exec script in the service

poopyurinal

Sorry, can you go into a little more detail on that? How would I create that script?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal edit a new file, add the two lines to it, and save.

The do

chmod +x ????

Where ??? is the name of the file you just created

Then make that file name the name of the exec script.

poopyurinal

Do you mean a shell script? Or a python script?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal shell script

poopyurinal

In the ExecStart field of the service, what is the command I need to run before the path? My shell script is in /home/pi/testerscript.sh. What command do I need to run that?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal edit the script again and add a new 1st line

#!/bin/sh

Because it is executable, the 1st line will be checked, and if the script processor is defined, it will be used

The default is also /bin/sh
