pigpiod

pigpiod is a script that allows to run pigpiod as a Linux service with root privileges. The advantage of running pigpiod as a service is that pigpiod can be automatically launched on system startup. To automatically start pigpiod as a service, do the following:

• Copy pigpiod from this directory to /etc/init.d/.

• Make it executable:

  sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/pigpiod
  

• Tell update-rc.d to automatically start the pigpiod service on system startup:

  sudo update-rc.d pigpiod defaults
  

• Now, you can start, stop, and restart pigpiod using

  sudo service pigpiod start
  sudo service pigpiod stop
  sudo service pigpiod restart
