First of all, I assume your ospi.py is copied to /var/www/opensprinkler folder, otherwise it obviously won’t find the .py file to run. Second, instead of using the $host and $port variables, I believe you can just do ‘python ospi.py 80’ to start up the program on http port 80. Note that you don’t have to put the files in /var/www/opensprinkler folder — when the python server starts, it will map the http link to whatever folder it’s running the ospi.py program from. For example, you can put it in /home/yourusername/OSPI and run the python program from there.

I took your advice and changed the rc.local to be like so:

cd /var/www/opensprinkler

/usr/bin/python ospi.py 80

exit 0

i then issued:

sudo reboot

Once the pi rebooted i ran:

ps -ef | grep python

which returned:

pi@opensprinkler ~ $ ps -ef | grep python

root      2130  2128  0 01:56 ?        00:00:00 sudo /usr/bin/python ospi.py 80

root      2131  2130  1 01:56 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/python ospi.py 80

pi        2310  2292  0 01:58 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto python

seems to be working now. I believe it was the absolute path to python that made it work

I’ll fork the Github repo examples for the interval_program and update it appropriately.
Thanks
