I would like to start a sketch automatically on startup. Is that possible?

you would have to look into automation in windows or whatever platform you are using. This is an os feature as opposed to a program feature, as its the os that decides what applications begin at startup. see previous post [image] How to run processing sketch automatic when my PC i…

Yup! Export your application using the file menu. Create a shortcut to the executable. Go to Start > Run > Shell:startup (or “Shell:common startup” if you want the sketch to boot for all users) Copy the shortcut into the startup folder. Done!

O.K. Let me be a little more specific . . . I’m building a clock using Raspberry Pi’s. Since it’s a clock I want it to be a clock at all times. So I don’t want to have to go through manually having to start the clock because of any shutdown reason. I want it to start up as a clock all the time. RPi’…

Also, this is a processing sketch, so processing must be started (I assume) and then clock.pde

Processing is just a wrapper for java, once the app is compiled processing is no longer required as your app is standalone

@KNealO96 most PCs have a cmos battery to keep clock going, not the RaspberryPI so your clock won’t keep going see https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=244216

Yes, thank you monkstone, but the real question is restarting the clock sketch automatically after any type of shutdown. The “clocking” will be taken care of within the .pde
