How do I make mt-daapd run at startup?

[onlineapps]

I’ve installed the mt-daapd program on Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy. The problem is, I want it to run whenever my computer turns on and I don’t know how to. Any ideas?

ubuntu uses upstart, so the system V init script provided wont work.
I do believe that the new version for debian comes with a upstart-compatible script, though.

Anyway, if you want to do so, you probably want to supress the initial scan. There is a config option for that.

Seems like someone else had that problem and in his post, he said he did this:

# update-rc.d mt-daapd defaults

– edit /etc/rc.local and add: mt-daapd start

and that did it for him on edgy.
