Ubuntu_etc_init.d

[drbitboy]

I added an optional time.sleep(20) to make it work during system boot using the provided /etc/init.d/cloudprint for ubuntu under a user named cloudprint. The wait is controlled by the new command-line option -w.

I also added system install instructions to the README to create the user and to start cloudprint during boot.

I believe the problem was that, although the network had started, some resource was not yet available e.g. perhaps resolv.conf was not yet populated with DNS IPs from DHCP; I don't like this approach (a hard-coded timer) but it does work on my laptop and on a clean system using http://instantserver.io/.

I don't think a delay is called for. See the comment on 53b083f0 for a probable fix.

Just in case, this is my upstart script, use as you will:

$ cat /etc/init/cloudprint.conf

description "cloudprint.py - Use CUPS printers with Google Cloudprint"

start on (filesystem and net-device-up)
stop on shutdown
respawn

console log

setuid root
env HOME=/root
env USER=root

exec /opt/cloudprint/cloudprint/cloudprint.py

Works great on Trusty! (obviously, change exec line to your install)
