How to fix BeagleBone Black Service File Autostart Script Error, status=203/EXEC

[Albert]

I want my BeagleBone machine to automatically start a script called server.js. It includes BoneScript (BeagleBone's unique function) and many functions including reading voltage and ampere from other machines.

I used this tutorial Executing a script on startup using BeagleBone Black

It kept showing status=203/EXEC error.

I tried the same tutorial for simple programs without Bonescript and Functions. Indeed, simple sending and receiving scripts are working without any issue.

How can I remove the error? I think it happens from importing BeagleScript and Functions. I'm not familiar with Linux environment.

Can anyone help to solve the issue?

Thanks,

ExecStart=/var/lib/cloud9/Projects echo ****** | sudo -S bash scriptname.sh

don't do that echo * | sudo stuff... it's already root...

ExecStart=/var/lib/cloud9/Projects/scriptname.sh

Hi, Robert. Thanks for quick reply.

Indeed, after changing to ExecStart=/var/lib/cloud9/Projects/scriptname.sh

It still showing error.

Do you or anyone knows how to solve the problem?

ExecStart=/var/lib/cloud9/Projects/server.js   <-- maybe ?

Looks like: NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules is not set..

[Albert]

Hi, thanks for reply.

I tried ExecStart=/var/lib/cloud9/Projects/server.js, but still not working.

[Albert]

Hi, RobertCNelson. 

Thanks for your answer.

I added this line in service file

Environment=NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules

[Unit]

After=network-online.target

[Service]

Type=simple

Environment=NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules

ExecStart=/usr/bin/scriptname.sh

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

But it shows this error.

Do you know why this error shows up?

add the export inside your script file...

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/lib/cloud9/Projects
node server.js

Hi, Robert.

I tried to put these into code one-by-one.

Do you know why it still shows error?

export NODE_PATH='/usr/lib/node_modules'

export NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules

export NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules:$NODE_PATH

Thanks,
