How to run Dropbox daemon in background? — Unix and Linux

Опубликовано | Автор: Губарь Маргарита Александровна

I’m using Debian 6 and Dropbox. I followed these commands to install it.

When I run ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd — Dropbox works and stuff. Problem is that when I close terminal or, even worse, — reboot… Dropbox stops to work and I need to run that deamon again.

Are there any way I say to computer to automatically start that daeamon in background?

Have you tried the python script linked below on that same website? It seems to be targeted to controlling the daemon. (I don’t have access to a debian-based machine ATM to try it myself though). – Hugo Apr 3 at 16:58
Thanks! I will try it. – daGrevis Apr 3 at 19:15

If you’re running the daemon from your own account, start it at boot time with Cron. Run crontab -e to edit your crontab file and add the line

@reboot ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
