Files placements and tweaks :-

1. ) You have three files named, swapPre.sh , swapMain.sh and stationRpi . Place them in some safe folder accordingly.
2. ) After placements of both file in folder, run this command to make it executable.

  chmod +x swapPre.sh && chmod +x swapMain.sh

3. ) After this, open swapPre.sh in editor mode :-

  sudo nano swapPre.sh

4. ) Now edit 19th line where cron_command is placed, provide full/absolute path of swapMain.sh, for example :

  cron_command="/home/XYZ/Desktop/SwappingPackages/swapMain.sh"

5. ) Now check whether chromium browser process name is chromium or chromium-browser. It can be done with tapping TAB button after typing chromium in terminal.
6. ) If in case the browser name is chromium-browser swap 6th line with bottom one where string="@chromium-browser --kiosk http://batswap.electrifuel.com:3000" is mentioned. It should look like this.

# string="@chromium --kiosk http://batswap.electrifuel.com:3000"
string="@chromium-browser --kiosk http://batswap.electrifuel.com:3000"

7. ) Now, edit swapMain.sh as well provide the absolute path for stationRpi and proper station ID, organisation ID and rack ID in 16th line.
