Troubleshooting • Re: Volume control with momentary buttons, works but not on startup in crontab

My experiments indicate the sound service isn't running yet in crontab.
I cheat to get it working. Are you up to cheating?

If not, I recommend waiting for the GUI to boot and use autostart.

Edit: Read this thread: I get chewed out for cheating. :D

If you try the cheating method, the ampersand (&) at the end of your crontab entry is important. The cheat will not work without it.
That indicates you want the OS to run this as a thread, don't wait for it to return, and continue to boot.
hmmm .... cheating may be a last resort. First will try waiting for GUI to boot and use autostart to see if that works.
thank you
