Autostart

Run a script automatically when the device boots

Designate one script in the device filesystem as the autostart, it executes when the device powers on and again on every reset.

Configure

  1. Open the Web UI → File Manager.
  2. Right-click the script you want as autostart → Set as autostart.
  3. The script is now marked. Power-cycle to verify.

The Cyan LED stays solid while the autostart script is running.

Common patterns

  • Standby beacon, autostart a recon-mode payload that idles silently and only fires when triggered remotely.
  • Plant-and-trigger, load the payload before deployment, then power the device at the target site to fire automatically.
  • Persistence, combined with repeat, autostart can re-arm payloads after a host reboot.

To clear the autostart, set a different script or right-click the current one → Unset autostart.
