In theory you could replace the exec line with a script:
Exec=/home/pi/startRivendell.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/caed &
/usr/local/bin/ripcd &
/usr/local/bin/rdcatchd &
sleep 5
/usr/local/bin/rdairplay
remember to chmod it (chmod ug+x /home/pi/startRivendell.sh)
You could also make the script wait until caed etc starts:
#!/bin/bash
#Wait for CAED
WAIT=1
while [ $WAIT == 1 ]; do
pidof caed >/dev/null
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
WAIT = 0
fi
#Wait 1 second before trying again
sleep 1
done
#Load airplay
/usr/local/bin/rdairplay

I did try the autostart route. It complained about missing daemons. I
this is because also in rc.local I have the daemons starting as
/etc/init.d/rivendell start. From looking at system log it seems that
the programs in autostart happens before rc.local runs so rdairplay in
autostart doesn't seem the daemons. I guess the question then is how
to maybe start the daemons before autostart runs. I look around but
didn't see any way autostarting via gui. Thanks for your help!

don't bother with rc.local it doesn't always work and its hard to
figure out why.
I have an older pi running wheezy as opposed to the newer jessie
build.
Inside the users directory I have this:
/home/pi/.config/autostart
I'm not sure if any scripts work here but the standard Linux
desktop files work e.g. a file something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/local/bin/rdairplay
You can copy/paste an existing desktop file into here and it
should work. Also have a look around your system settings for
startup applications, if you have that (I think the newer Pi OS'
do) then just use the GUI to do it.

Hi all,
I have been pulling my hair out trying to autostart rdairplay on
a pi. I have created a script to do this called rdairplay located
at /home/bananapi. I then added the script to rc.local like this.
sudo sh /etc/init.d/rdairplay. I then go to terminal and run sudo
/etc/init.d/rc.local start and it runs fine and rdairplay comes
up. However when I reboot it does not run the rdairplay
application. I have tried everything I know. Why would it run
manually, but not on reboot. Is there a better or different way
to do this?
