Autostart W3m

To run a w3n on your Raspberry Pi at startup is to modify the .bashrc file. With the .bashrc method, your python program will run on boot and also every time when a new terminal is opened, or when a new SSH connection is made. Put your command at the bottom of ‘/home/pi/.bashrc’. The program can be aborted with ‘ctrl-c’ while it is running!

 sudo nano /home/pi/.bashrc

Go to the last line of the script and add:

 /home/pi/runw3n.sh

Shell script:

 #!/bin/sh
 
 printf "runing w3m"
 sudo w3m http://entangledpixel.dernulleffekt.de/screenshot.html
