Hi, I'm trying to get this running on boot with linux, but no luck. Could you post a suitable init.d script with start/stop/restart please

Inside the Readme of DroidMote Server for Linux you can find the exact procedure to start it on boot.

DroidMote Server for Linux must start after X11. Remember this, is very important to have all working.

How do I ensure that it starts after X11? I've tried doing what's in the readme, but no luck. All I get is 'Server is not reachable'

I tested again what is written in the readme and it work.

Look in the process if the server is started, if you have the port listening.

But for first, try to ping your phone from your linux pc. If the ping not work you have connections problem indipendent from droidmote.

this is the exact procedure wriyyen in the readme:

How to start the server:

Disable the firewall on port 2302
chmod 777 ./droidmote
sudo su
./droidmote 2302 password


How to start the server at boot time automatically: (you can use also an alternative configuration, but you must start droidmote after X11)

get root permission with sudo su
copy droidmote to /usr/bin
chmod 777 /usr/bin/droidmote
create a shell script startdm.sh in /usr/bin

-----------------------------
the content of startdm.sh is:
#!/bin/sh
droidmote 2302 password &
-----------------------------

chmod +x /usr/bin/startdm.sh
edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add the line: greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/startdm.sh
restart your machine

At first this setup didnt work for me.

though after i moved the startdm command further up the list in the wm config file it worked a treat.
