[OZAPRS] Direwolf on RPi

[Wade Smith]

Hi Norm. 

Direwolf is one of those amateur apps that has extensive documentation written to support it - including auto start. 

In this case it is very much RTFM. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wb2osz/direwolf/master/doc/User-Guide.pdf

Good afternoon and welcome to my nightmare
Running the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite 32 bit –previously  known as Raspbian Buster - on a Pi 3B+. Trying to auto-start direwolf at reboot. Wrote a cron job in nano using crontab –e
 
@reboot /usr/bin/rtl_fm –f 145.175M - | direwolf –c sdr.conf –r 24000 –D –
 
The file saved without error and assured me that the new crontab had been installed. Now at reboot, quick as a flash, nothing happens. No error message. Nada. Almost as if the cron job isn’t being run... or read... or something. I know the command line works, that’s how I’m starting it at the moment.
So what have I done wrong, or not done right? 🤔
