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.
