does ur app run on X? or as a service?
try adding the ff line(s) on /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc xterm -exec <your app> & xterm -exec <your other app> you may also want to specify the location of the X window. xterm -exec <your app> -geometry 80+25+0+0 & xterm -exec <your other app> -geometry 80+25+0+26 Rikki T. Vizcarra wrote:
Hello fellow pluggers,
Going straight to my problem, I need to run some programs automatically when
my linux box boots up. What's the best way to approach this? To be more
specific, i've got a java application that needs to be run on the system
when it starts.
So far with what I did, the system did boot up and my application did run,
but since the application doesn't give back the console to the system, other
startup scripts (that should have run after my application) didn't run
unless I terminate the program. The application just lets you see some logs
on things he is doing on the system.
Is there a good approach to make this work? Is there a way to run the
program on a separate window (for example run it in tty6) when it starts?
Thanks,
Rikki
