Hi Phil, Since the loging is happening the EVM, Could you tell me the script that actual loads the command to login. Is it somethgin like /bin/login is called from one of these scripts? - Say etc/rc.d/init.d/rcS, However, Im not able to see any call to /bin/login within the rcS script - below Could you please tell/remember the subject of your previous post regarding running the application as a daemon or send a pointer to me By daemonization do you mean I have to handle/add something like a signal handler for my application? Thank you in advance Cheers, Deepak #! /bin/sh # # rcS Call all S??* scripts in /etc/rcS.d in # numerical/alphabetical order. # # Version: @(#)/etc/init.d/rcS 2.76 19-Apr-1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #

Does the application require user input/output, does the final system have a console, is there a GUI etc..... The simple method (where you need console I/O and do not need the board to do anything else but run the application) is to bypass the login and automatically start the app. You can do this by changing the getty line parameters to add -n (no user prompt) and -l app_name to run 'app_name' instead of /bin/login. No idea if this will work as I have never tried it but I have used a similar option in 'mingetty' that Fedora uses to auto login to a user & then have a custom .bashrc to start the required app. The second approach (no console on final system) is to run your application as a service (or daemon) program. To do this your application needs to be changed so it can run as a daemon... typically this means adding a command line option and then an extra function within the app to do the required thing. You should be able to find what is needed by searching the list - I have previously posted a suitable function to the list that is working for me. Once the application supports daemonisation, you can then add a start script - use one of the scripts pointed to by links in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d as guidance. Note that the script actually lives in /etc/init.d and needs to be able to take 'start|stop|restart' as a parameter.

Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 7:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Automatic Process spawning before login in dm355 with ramdisk Hi, I've created a ramdisk for the applications that I created in the NFS mounts. As long as I have a terminal, I can login and execute the program. However, I'm trying to start the processes automatically from something like a startup script. example: running encodedecode demo automatically as the system starts up. The problem is its working well in the NFS mounts. But does not work in the ramdisk. the cnmemory pools are not loadable at this stage. Could someone please tell me what am I missing. Please suggest on any other alternative methods to invoke scripts automatically before logging in. This is how the /etc/init.d/rcS appears in my rootfs - (Last 2 lines added by me) ######################################################################## #####################3 #! /bin/sh # # rcS Call all S??* scripts in /etc/rcS.d in # numerical/alphabetical order. # # Version: @(#)/etc/init.d/rcS 2.76 19-Apr-1999 miquels_at_cistron_dot_nl <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin runlevel=S prevlevel=N umask 022 export PATH runlevel prevlevel # # See if system needs to be setup.
