I have GQRX successfully running on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Debian Jammy. However I can't get the OS to run the startup program on reboot. I tried using "@reboot /home/rd/GQRXautomaticstart.sh" even though the script runs perfectly from the command line.
What am I missing?

Perhaps it depends on services which are no yet started? Does the shell
include a "cd" to the appropriate space?
Cheers,
David

Thanks David.
I tried putting a delay inside the script and that didn't work. I remember that I could also do it in the @reboot line but, for the life of me, I can't remember the syntax.

Does redirecting outout from the script somewhere help?

Thomas: Thanks for the input. No. I doesn't seem to matter.
And I found the line I used with Ubuntu on an X-86 box: @reboot sleep 20 && (script file)

Second attempt for a reply ...
Goodmorning,
You can start a program automatically by using systemd.
Mainly this consists of two files that you have to create yourself.
The first is under etc/systemd/system and must have the extension .service i.e. myfilename.service
You can choose any name, maybe startGQRX.service.
This is a possible content of such a file ,
with no guarantee that it will work, but that's how I start my own program in an RPI
First file
[Unit]
Description=Starting GQRX
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Restart=always
Type=idle
ExecStart=/home/pi/scripts/startGQRX.sh
ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall -9 startGQRX.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save your file
Assigning permissions to the file:
sudo chmod +x startGQRX.service
Second file ( script)
Goto /home/pi/scripts
Make a new file with extension .sh
i.e. startGQRX.sh
Content :
#!/bin/bash
echo Starting GQRX
echo
In this line must come you startscript ,I thought it was :
/home/rd/GQRXautomaticstart.sh
Save your file and give permissions.
sudo chmod +x startGQRX.sh
Then you must initiate systemd with this 2 commands ( in your terminal)
sudo systemctl daemon-reload.
sudo systemctl enable startGQRX.service
Now you can reboot your RPi and see if it works.
Further command systemd:
sudo systemctl status startGQRX ( status)
sudo systemctl start startGQRX ( manual start)
sudo systemctl stop startGQRX ( manual stop)

sudo systemctl start startGQRX ( manual start)
sudo systemctl stop startGQRX ( manual stop)
I I hope this helps. You can find a lot on YouTube about systemd.
This is what I get when querying status by systmctl status
