Answer 1

Upon startup, Newsbeuter will look for URLs file, first in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/newsbeuter , then in ~/.newsbeuter (the file should be named urls ). If it doesn't find any, it will quit with an error message. I'm supposing that's what's happening in your case: since you're starting things from /etc/rc.local , your $HOME is not your user's, so Newsbeuter doesn't find the file and quits.

One way to correct this would be to su into your user before starting Newsbeuter.

Another would be to provide the path to urls explicitly with --url-file=/home/username/.newsbeuter/urls (and also --cache-file , probably --config-file as well).

要查看可能的错误消息，请在tmux new-window之前执行tmux set set-remain-on-exit ，然后attach到新窗口，然后按Ctrl - B Page Up 。
