Autoboot rlancaste EKOS environment to allow SkySafari control - by: jerry

So a fresh install of smate/EKOS/Kstars using Rlancaste's instructions github.com/rlancaste/AstroPi3 let me configure a Celestron NexStar and SkySafari 6 so that the NexStar can be controlled by SkySafari (this is for visual viewing only). What I'm having problems with is configuring it so that booting the RPi(2) will automatically have this environment up and running so that no VNC is required. I was under the impression that the AutoStart option in the IndiWeb Manager would do this for me, but at the moment this doesn't appear to work (for me). Is this something that should be expected to work?

Thanks
Jerry
