Problem description
I've made a script under ~/.termux/boot/ and from the example tried:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
termux-wake-lock
a

I've even tried bash at the end of the shebang.

Steps to reproduce
a is an alias command in ~/.bashrc with following contents:

alias a="cd ~/storage/shared/ariel-bot/ && forever index.js"

I've tried calling the script without the a alias and still doesn't work.

Expected behavior
The forever app should be running a nodejs script in the background. It works fine with the alias but doesn't work when device boots.

Hi,

I installed both termux-app and termux-boot. In termux-app I followed the node-red official guide and it was possible from terminal to find and to run the program. Inserting the command inside a file under the directory ~/.termux/boot and debugging the call, it was possible to see that the file is called but on the node-red line the log write:

node-red: not found

There's a good chance I've missed something obvious, but Termux:Boot isn't working for me.

I've installed Termux:Boot on my Nexus 6 running Android 7.0, and I've launched the app.

$ ls -l ~/.termux/boot/
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 u0_a98 u0_a98 141 Aug  6 20:51 start
$ cat ~/.termux/boot/start
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

crond
sshd
echo "$(date +'%a %F %T %Z') /data/data/com.termux/files/home/boot/start" >> $HOME/.log
$

(The documentation doesn't say the script needs to be executable or have a #! line, but I figured it wouldn't hurt.)

The script doesn't execute when I reboot the phone. sshd isn't running, and nothing is written to $HOME/.log.

Steps to reproduce

1. install termux from f-droid
2. launch termux and install openssh via pkg install openssh
3. set passwd and start the ssh daemon via sshd
4. confirm that another computer on the LAN can ssh -p 8022 IP
5. while connected via ssh, run:

mkdir -p .termux/boot 
echo -e '#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh \n termux-wake-lock \n sshd' > .termux/boot/start-sshd
chmod +x .termux/boot/start-sshd

6. exit ssh, and go back to device
7. install termux:boot from f-droid
8. launch termux:boot
9. reboot device
10. observe that even after several minutes, the device is still not accessible via ssh.
11. lauch termux and confirm that running .termux/boot/start-sshd renders the device accessible via ssh

Expected behavior
Device accessible via SSH at boot

plz i may be able to help if u want

Tried to install Termux Boot from FDroid on Android x86 8.1 RC2 (64 bit). Got an "Unexpected error" during installation. Should I provide debug logs or, perhaps just figure out how to setup autorun manually?

Problem description

I have created the ~/.termux/boot directory and placed my .sh file in there with chmod o+x,g+x,u+x script.sh to ensure there is no lack of permissions.

I have opened the Termux:Boot application multiple times at this point.

Steps to reproduce

cd ~
mkdir .termux/boot
# write some working sh file here
cp ./someworkingfile.sh ./.termux/boot/script.sh
chmod o+x,g+x,u+x ./.termux/boot/script.sh

At this point, I get a screen with following information:

User action: Plugin execution command

But the file is there? Did I miss a step? Am I missing a vital package or setup?

Expected behavior

For the script to run at boot without error

When manually ran (sh script.sh) this script works perfectly.

I was able to install Termux from Google Play onto my Shield TV and it works great so far, but when I try to purchase Termux:Boot the Play Store site says it's not compatible with my device.

Guess I can uninstall and start again with the F-Droid version but I'd also like to support the developer.

my node directory is
HOME/autorun/start.js
excute node start.js

i hope this process automatical excute, when i turn on android .
so how can i do? please help me and let me know

I have added a shell script in "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.termux/boot" called "start-sshd" with the correct interpreter and +x permissions, but the script is not executed at startup, nor is any error reported in the logs.

For debugging I took out everything in the script and just left in an output to file statement like this:

termux-wake-lock
echo "fooo " >> $HOME/a1.log

But there is no file "a1.log" generated in the home directory. When I inspect the logs with logcat -s termux:*. the only entries I see are:

--------- beginning of system
--------- beginning of main

The termux-boot process is started on the phone(As listed in Phone settings>Apps), how can I get more information on why it is failing to execute the script. Here is information about my phone from termux-info:

Because of it com.termux.boot creates the wake lock which AFAIK blocks a device from sleeping. This is how it looks like:

$ adb shell dumpsys power | grep -A 1 'Wake Locks'
Wake Locks: size=1
  PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK              '*job*/com.termux.boot/.BootJobService' (uid=1000, pid=883, ws=WorkSource{10091})

Is it really needed, if a person already can control a wake lock using termux-wake-{lock,unlock}?

I have opened the Termux:Boot app several times.

Termux:Boot does not appear to be working under Android Oreo. My scripts are not executed at all. I use Ansible to deploy my configuration so I can be sure it is identical as Nougat. Although, I ended up removing all of my boot scripts since I discovered that termux-wake-lock does not work either under Android Oreo. Since my primary concern is having sshd running on startup I tried making that the only line in the only script.
I tried just "sshd" and also just "sshd -D", neither worked. To ensure it wasn't a problem related to sshd I erased everything and just had a simple "echo test > ~/test" and that did not work either. Has anyone else run into this? Even without the wake lock it should run one line right? If I manually run sshd the daemon works fine and does not seem to exit even without the wake-lock.

The device is a OnePlus 3 running OOS 5.0 (Android 8.0.0).

I'm getting duplicate processes popping up.

My boot starts a php server for codiad ide:

~/.termux/boot/boot.sh:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/env bash
/data/data/com.termux/files/home/codiad-run.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & disown

It runs this simple php server loop:

~/.codiad-run.sh:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/env bash
cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/codiad
while true ; do php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t /data/data/com.termux/files/home/codiad ; pkill php; done > /dev/null

The boot script is the only place where I'm invoking codiad-run.sh. Everything runs ok for several minutes after booting, until Codiad dies, and when I check, there are 4 processes runing codiad-run.sh.

I've tried starting it with nohup instread of disown, and I also tried leaving the console connected, but same result.

I'm not sure if this is related; when I start apache2 instead, I see it is also getting duplicated, with multiple copies of /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/httpd -k start running.
Apache still works, I don't know if it's expecting this behavior or not.

I create file in ~/.termux/boot/start-sshd with content:

termux-wake-lock
sshd

but when reboot the device, sshd is not running.

How can I debug this problem?

Droidlogic X96Max_Plus2 S905X3 4G+64G
Android 9.0

Issue: delays in the execution of boot scripts - typically a minute or longer. After the delay, all scripts execute normally.
The scripts execute immediately if called via .bashrc or as termux-services, but this introduces other problems. I would prefer to run the scripts at boot only. Have resolved using a ~/../usr/etc/profile/d script to test for first boot then conditionally execute boot scripts, but have not sorted termux:boot.

termux:boot is correctly installed and scripts in correct location.

Similar delays with old release:

The F-Droid version of Termux:Boot will not install with a version of Termux downloaded from github and the F-Droid is the only available source for the Termux:boot apk.

Termux downloaded from f-droid: boot (v 0.7) cannot be installed on Android 10

I have two tablets, one running android 8 and the another running android 10. I have installed termux and termux:boot (v 0.7) from f-droid exactly the same on both systems. termux:boot works (runs the boot script) on the android 8 tablet, but fails (does not run the script) on the android 10 tablet.

I know everything is correctly configured because the same configuration works on android 8.

If anyone could look into this, I will gladly provide any details, files, debug output etc... needed.

Someone please help (my project cannot move forward without termux:boot).

It would be nice if there would be an option to have a non-interactive session to be spawned, with no terminal so that terminal list isn't cluttered with the boot one ( also no risk of accidentally closing it )

I want start node-red. When I reboot my divice I can use node red, but it only starts as task. Is it normal? Can I start it in a session?

I installed Termux-boot app..and followed all steps.. I created a file named start-apache in boot directory with 2 line codes in it

termux-wake-lock
apachectl

but nothing happens..

I'm running android 6 on my zenbook, so I've installed Codiad as my IDE. For convenience, I want it to start in termux-boot, so I don't have to login to termux to start it before using it.

The problem is that breaks the git functionality, such that when I try to push or pull, I get an error:

`fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such file or directory'

But when I start the server manually after I log in, it works fine.

I've tried it using apache2, and standalone php, and the results are the same. Apparently, the error is referring to a local config file that it isn't able to locate.

hi
i would like syncthing to start it at startup. I have tried to do it as the documentation said
here
But it doesn't work
Things I've made sure to do:

• I installed both Termux and Termux:Boot from F-Droid.
• Click the Termux:Boot launcher to "activate" it.
• chmod u+x ~/.termux/boot/start-syncthing&chmod u+x $PREFIX/var/service/syncthing/run
• Added both Termux and Termux:Boot to the "No battery optimizations" list,

i would then create an executable script at $PREFIX/var/service/syncthing/run with the content

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

syncthing -logflags 0 2>&1

Create the ~/.termux/boot/ directory.
Put start-syncthingscripts you want to execute inside the ~/.termux/boot/ directory

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
source /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/profile.d/start-services.sh

Hi there.

Am completely new to this but will give it my best shot:

Am running termux on my nexus 7 and want it to run both node-red and mosquitto at boot

For this i created 2 files in .termux/boot start-nodered and start-mosquitto

start-nodered has the following in it:

termux-wake-lock
termux-fix-shebang $(which node-red)
node-red

and start-mosquitto has:

termux-wake-lock
mosquitto

The problem I have is that only one of the scripts seems to run when I need them both to start.

If I delete start-nodered then mosquitto starts up perfectly or if I delete start-mosquitto then node-red works fine.

When they are both in there node red starts and not mosquitto.

My guess is that it gets stuck running one and doesn't move on to the other?

If anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Will this actually run my Binary file in my home directory at Boot? Haven't tested it yet cause people are using the Shield for Live TV Viewing....Thanks! Also, How can I get it to run in a detached screen?

It didn't run the application

Hi folks can someone please help, i have a script that runs a proxy so i get live tv for plex, in order for the channels to play plex needs ffmpeg which i have installed, once i type the python script everything works great

however what i wanted to do was have it auto start, i have used both termux tasker and boot and and using both formats the script is loading the proxy with no issues

The problem is that ffmpeg does not appear to loadusing either of these methods, it should start automatically when terux starts but it is not

any ideas?

I've purchased Termux Boot today but it doesn't seem to work. It claims it launches scripts at device boot, but it doesn't in my case.

I've lauched the app and made the directories .termux and boot as docs advised, added the script, tested it manually, and it works (just launches lighttpd server). But when I restarted my device the server wasn't working!

My script contents:

termux-wake-lock
lighttpd -f /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

I must say I have little knowledge in linux in general so maybe I'm missing something.

Please help!

Problem description

can't auto start scripts

Steps to reproduce

follow instructions at https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux:Boot

Expected behavior

scripts run on startup

Additional information

tried both the example script mentioned in the wiki to start sshd
and my one which runs an app in my ubuntu proot. both work as expected if ran manually

• Termux application version: 0.108
• Android OS version:9,0
• Device model: shield TV Pro

I've tried following the stated directions, but I can't get my boot scripts to run. This is on a Chromebook (Dell Chromebook 13 7310) running Android 7.1.1. I've installed and run the Termux:Boot app.

For testing purposes, I've tried running chmod 755 on the file, adding a #! declaration at the top, adding termux-wake-lock as the first statement, and changing the executed statement to echo 'hello'.

$ ls -l ~/.termux/boot
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 u0_a52 u0_a52 13 Oct 12 18:52 start
$ cat ~/.termux/boot/start
termux-chroot
$

I'm not sure what I need to do to get the script to run. Based on the note on a prior issue, here is my logcat -s termux:*:

--------- beginning of main
--------- beginning of system
10-12 18:07:33.375  3265  3265 W termux  : Failed sending SIGKILL: kill failed: ESRCH (No such process)
10-12 18:33:53.043  3265  3265 W termux  : Failed sending SIGKILL: kill failed: ESRCH (No such process)
10-12 18:42:15.338  3265  3265 W termux  : Failed sending SIGKILL: kill failed: ESRCH (No such process)
--------- beginning of crash

I think those errors may be from exiting Termux via the Chrombook notification tray instead of the exit command. I am testing whether the script ran by checking ls /home (or if the terminal says 'hello' on boot).

Hi there, I am curious to know what exactly triggers the running of scripts in ~/.termux/boot? I find that they are run quite often between reboots.

I have a boot script that does only this:

   #!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
   uptime >> ~/up.txt

The phone booted this morning around 9:29, and it's been up ever since, but here's the contents of up.txt:

 09:29:51 up 0 min,  load average: 13.87, 3.67, 1.24
 09:41:04 up 12 min,  load average: 8.56, 8.22, 5.19
 09:52:04 up 23 min,  load average: 8.91, 8.89, 7.10
 10:04:04 up 35 min,  load average: 8.54, 8.80, 8.04
 10:18:04 up 49 min,  load average: 8.60, 8.59, 8.35
 10:36:04 up  1:07,  load average: 9.00, 8.90, 8.70
 11:02:04 up  1:33,  load average: 9.01, 8.89, 8.79
 11:44:59 up  2:16,  load average: 8.41, 8.65, 8.76
 12:59:56 up  3:31,  load average: 8.90, 8.99, 8.97
 15:17:56 up  5:49,  load average: 8.72, 8.90, 9.05
 19:43:58 up 10:15,  load average: 8.51, 8.81, 8.88

This doesn't seem right but maybe I am misunderstanding something.

I am seeing this on a nexus 5 with lineage os 14.1, but I observe the same behavior on nextbit robin, also running lineage os 14.1.

Thanks for reading

I need an ssh server to start with the box and bought termux-boot, but it does not do what it has promised to do: boot with the box.
I don't want a refund, I want somebody to fix it.

When Termux:Boot runs a script and an unknown error occurs. There's no way for the user to see what the issue is on the log. From my experience outputting the command log to a file isn't reliable such as node ~/path/to/file/index.js >> log.txt.

The script runs fine when I run it in Termux but the auto script with the exact same command says it's running but it really isn't.
