If you start Wowza as a service it should start when you reboot. If it doesn’t you can add service start line to /etc/rc.local or similar.

It is one of these:

/sbin/service WowzaMediaServer start

or

/etc/init.d/WowzaMediaServer start

Hi Richard could you give an example of a **service start line** to add to **/etc/rc.local**

Thanks StreamU
