Hi im trying to find quides how to start plexconnect automatically at startup but cannot find how to do it?

My plex is working fine with manual startup command bash /PlexConnect/PlexConnect\_daemon.bash start&nbsp;

i wanted it to kick in at startup, do i have to edit files inside jail or in main root user?

&nbsp;

I allready tryed that post but i got nowhere with it made the file in Plexmediaserver jail /usr/local/etc/rc.d/plexConnect\_daemon and pasted the code:

#! /bin/sh  
#  
#  
# PROVIDE: plexConnect\_daemon  
# REQUIRE: DAEMON  
# KEYWORD: shutdown  
. /etc/rc.subr  
name="plexconnect"  
rcvar=`set_rcvar`  
&nbsp;  
command="/usr/local/bin/python"  
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"  
plexconnect\_flags="/usr/local/plexconnect/PlexConnect/PlexConnect\_daemon.py --pidfile $pidfile"  
eval ${name}\_flags=\"${plexconnect\_flags}\"  
load\_rc\_config $name  
run\_rc\_command "$1"

Could i just start it with sameway as the plexmediaserver?

Assuming that FreeNAS inherits FreeBSD rc system you need to edit _/etc/rc.conf_:

plexconnect\_enable="YES"

make sure that plexConnect\_daemon has execute permissions, try to start it manually&nbsp;

_/usr/local/etc/rc.d/plexConnect\_daemon start_

If you run plexconnect in jail, I believe editing should be done inside the jail.
