autostart not working on linux(debianRPi)

[gimick]

After ./install.sh and reboot the kalite background daemons do not start

manually starting the service with "sudo service kalite start" throws these messages (although the server is not started):

cronstart.sh: line 4: /home/pi/ka-lite/../python.sh: No such file or directory
Starting the cron server in the background.

cronstart.sh: line 16: cronserver.py: command not found
serverstart.sh: line 4: /home/pi/ka-lite/../python.sh: No such file or directory
serverstart.sh: line 7: -c: command not found
Running the web server on port .
serverstart.sh: line 28: manage.py: command not found
The server should now be accessible locally at: http://127.0.0.1:/
To access it from another connected computer, try the following address(es):
http://192.168.1.24:/
http://1.1.1.1:/

I believe this is due to a change that I made, "source"-ing the cronstart.sh and serverstart.sh instead of calling them. Though it somehow works on a mac, linux seems to be doing something more reasonable (and failing).

Our current scripts assume that you're running them from the current directory, rather than getting the SCRIPT_DIR from their location (and not where you're running from).

Bottom line: try this out!

replace

SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "$0" )" && pwd )"

with

SCRIPT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

@gimick could you make this change in the kalite/cronstart.sh and kalite/serverstart.sh files, and retry?

yeah cheers @bcipolli that fixes it - I will push something. There is a path related issue in runatboot.sh which I'll also fix
