## Windows
Running Tautulli in the background on startup can be enabled by checking Tautulli Settings > Web Interface > Launch at System Startup.
* **Warning**: Make sure to remove any previous Tautulli shortcut from your startup folder or task in Windows Task Scheduler to prevent conflicts with the Tautulli setting! Refer to deprecated instructions below.

<summary>Deprecated instructions</summary>
### Interactive
This will start Tautulli in the background when you login to Windows without the command prompt.
* Make sure Tautulli is shutdown. `Tautulli > Settings > Shutdown`
* Create a new shortcut ([screenshot](./images/new_shortcut.png)) in your startup folder with
* Target: `"C:\Program Files\Python38\pythonw.exe" C:\Tautulli\Tautulli.py`
* Start in: `C:\Program Files\Python38`
* Start Tautulli with the shortcut
### Non Interactive
This will start Tautulli in the background when your computer starts, regardless of whether you are logged in.
* Make sure Tautulli is shutdown. `Tautulli > Settings > Shutdown`
* Create a new text file and [enter the following line](./images/new_command_file.png):
Start "C:\Program Files\Python38\pythonw.exe" C:\Tautulli\Tautulli.py
* Save the file in your Tautulli folder as `Tautulli.cmd` (e.g. `C:\Tautulli\Tautulli.cmd`)
* Open the "Run" dialog window (<kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd>) and run `%windir%\system32\taskschd.msc` to open your Windows Task Scheduler.
* Create a new task with the following settings:
* [General](./images/create_task_general.png):
* Name: Tautulli
* (•) Run whether user is logged on or not
* Configure for: Windows 10 (select your own Windows version)
* [Triggers](./images/create_task_triggers.png):
* Add a new trigger:
* Begin the task: At startup
* [✓] Delay task for: 30 seconds (to allow your server to start up, adjust as necessary)
* Click OK
* [Actions](./images/create_task_actions.png):
* Add a new action:
* Action: Start a program
* Program/script: `C:\Tautulli\Tautulli.cmd`
* Click OK
* [Settings](./images/create_task_settings.png):
* [✓] Allow task to be run on demand
* [✓] Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed
* [✓] If the task fails, restart every: 1 minute
* Attempt to restart up to: 3 times
* [✓] If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop
* If the task is already running, then the following rule applies: Do not start a new instance
* Click OK
* Tautulli should show up in the [list of Active Tasks](./images/list_of_active_tasks.png).
* Double click on the task, then [click "Run" on the right hand side](./images/click_run_on_right.png). The status will change the "Running".
* Once Tautulli has started, the [status should change back to "Ready" and the last run result should say "The operation completed successfully (0x0)"](./images/status_is_ready.png).
* In your Windows Task Manager, there should be a ["pythonw.exe" background process running](./images/pythonw_background_process.png).

This assumes Tautulli is installed to `/usr/local/share/Tautulli` as per installation instructions, and user is `tautulli`. You can make your own user using: `sudo adduser`
* Make sure Tautulli is shutdown. `Tautulli > Settings > Shutdown`
* Ensure user permissions are correct:
sudo chown -R tautulli:tautulli /usr/local/share/Tautulli
* Copy init script:
sudo cp /usr/local/share/Tautulli/init-scripts/init.freebsd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tautulli
* Enable at boot:
sudo sysrc tautulli_enable="YES"
* To start:
sudo service tautulli start
* You can use `service tautulli [start | stop | restart | status]` to start/stop/restart or check the status of the Tautulli service
* **Note:** You may ignore the warning `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tautulli: WARNING: $command_interpreter /usr/local/bin/python3 != python`.
Optional:
* If you need to change user:
sudo sysrc tautulli_user="USERNAME"
* Set user permissions for the Tautulli directory:
chown -R USERNAME:GROUPNAME /usr/local/share/Tautulli
* Run from another directory:
sudo sysrc tautulli_dir="DIRECTORY"

This assumes Tautulli is installed to `/usr/local/share/Tautulli` as per installation instructions, and user is `root`.
To automate the Tautulli script just do this in the jail shell (in root directory):
* Make sure Tautulli is shutdown. `Tautulli > Settings > Shutdown`
* Ensure user permissions are correct:
chown -R root:wheel /usr/local/share/Tautulli
* Copy init script:
cp /usr/local/share/Tautulli/init-scripts/init.freenas /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tautulli
* Set user to run:
sysrc tautulli_user="root"
* Enable at boot:
sysrc tautulli_enable="YES"
* To start:
service tautulli start
* You can use `service tautulli [start | stop | restart | status]` to start/stop/restart or check the status of the Tautulli service
* **Note:** You may ignore the warning `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tautulli: WARNING: $command_interpreter /usr/local/bin/python3 != python`.
Optional:
* If you need to change user:
sysrc tautulli_user="USERNAME"
* Set user permissions for the Tautulli directory:
