Re: [gpsd-users] Issue with Rasbian Jessie

I find that no distro gets gpsd auto-start correctly.

I always just put the gpsd start in something like /etc/init.d/local

=================================

Gary,

This sounds like an excellent idea, but I'm too much of a Linux novice to 
know exactly how to do this.  I do have a /etc/init.d/ directory, but 
nothing in there "local".  There is already a file:

 /etc/init.d/gpsd

which looks like a script to start the gpsd server, together with a whole 
bunch of similar files.  Are you suggesting adding a new file (or directory) 
and, if so, what should be the contents?

One other possibility which occurs to me is that gpsd /is/ starting, but 
failing.  If so, where would I look for error messages?  dmegs | grep gps 
shows nothing.

Thanks,
David
