Merely adding a start-up script to /etc/init.d is not enough to cause the MeshDeck
client daemon to start automatically when the system boots. Symbolic links to the
start-up script must be created in the subdirectories for each of the target run levels.
The update-rc.d utility allows these symbolic links to be easily created. The appropriate
command is sudo update-rc.d meshdeckd defaults.
An install script can be used to automatically install all of the prerequisites for
running the MeshDeck as either a client or a server. The script can also set up the
appropriate start-up scripts. The following start-up script will install the MeshDeck
and ask if it should be configured as a drone daemon. The latest version of this script
and associated files can be obtained from my GitHub site by executing the command
git clone https://github.com/ppolstra/MeshDeck:
