That's what I was wondering. If not, you could boot to single-user mode (set default runlevel to 1 in /etc/inittab). That'll bypass the login prompt. You could start your app from /etc/rc.d/rc.local; or create a script to start/stop/restart it in /etc/init.d, like other startup services. Of course in single-user mode everything runs as root. You'll have to decide if that's a problem. -- paul winkler home: http://www.slinkp.com music: http://www.reacharms.com calendars: http://www.calendargalaxy.com
