Re: GRIP needs to be reloaded each time the robot is restarted

I am only at the experimentation stage, but hoping to do something closer to production tonight. Once the GRIP jar file is deployed (using the GRIP app), is it supposed to start automatically when the robot is rebooted or do we need to create our own startup script? Anyone know? Also, what we will actually need to do is:

Let the robot code launch
- robot code will set the exposure and brightness from preferences
- robot code will disconnect from the camera
Need to launch the GRIP jar file

The above is needed because, based on my initial testing, if you adjust the exposure and brightness, they reset to some default value on power cycle and GRIP has no option to set the values
