Hello,

Have you tried to set up a .service file for your application?

Seth

P.S. I am asking b/c the last time I had some .service file on my BBB, the application/file started on boot. Is this what you are asking?

Yes

Hello Again,

If you have a piece of software you want to run on boot, follow along here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html.

Along the bottom section of the page, on that site, there should be a instance/example. Enjoy!

Seth

P.S. If you are still having issues after you read up, let me know.

If I understand correctly, you don't want to run an application on
boot but after 15 Min.
Maybe this is easier to accomplish with crontab: Simply ad a line to
/etc/crontab

@reboot some_user sleep 900 ; /path_to/myscript

Where some_user can be root or any other user....
