For what it’s worth, I’m starting mavproxy automatically on my RPi, but not at boot. Instead I’m starting it upon log in to a windowing session. I edited /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart to automatically run a shell script when starting a windowing session, like this:

@lxterminal -e /home/pi/mmp.sh

and then in the shell script file /home/pi/mmp.sh I have the commands necessary to start mavproxy. Which for me are:

PYTHONPATH=/home/pi/MAVProxy
export PYTHONPATH
cd /home/pi/MAVProxy
MAVProxy/mavproxy.py

Easiest/best way to start any program at boot is as following.

  1. Create “mavproxy_startup” file like attached file(https://docs.zoho.com/file/jjd2ud3901e9bbb6d4876929e541573a66e4b). Don’t change the header. Also filename should NOT have .sh extension
  2. Copy this file to /etc/init.d
  3. run command “sudo update-rc.d mavproxy_startup defaults”
  4. From next boot it will start automatically.

the link you posted is not working. Can you please help? @Sachchit I am having trouble starting the mavproxy from crontab. ps aux | grep mavproxy.py shows a process running at every reboot. Cron job is supposed to start a udp port which is not happening
