Raspberry Pi program delay

autostart, delay, midori, raspberry-pi

Solution

To add small delay before midori starts, which would be less reliable than ip checking. See section 3 on this link. http://www.antony-neu.com/2013/03/12/autostarting-a-browser-on-the-raspberry-pi/

Follow the steps and inside the bash script above the line that calls midori add a sleep period:

sleep 5

Problem

I use Raspberry Pi to display web page automatically at startup. The issue is : As soon as the raspberry is started, Midori is launched, but I've the message "Cannot Resolve Hostname....". When I update the webpage 30 seconds after startup, it is correctly displayed. How I can make a delay to launch Midori after X seconds ? I launch my webpage with `/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart`
