My package installs a bootscript in /etc/init.d. I haven't set it up to run after installation because dealing with upgrades is slightly complicated, but it's easy to do it yourself. Run the following update-rc.d odccm defaults 30 70 to set up the links so odccm is run automatically at boot. The output you would see when running it in the foreground (the -f flag) is then sent to the system logs. I've been working on a hal integrated dccm which should make this all a bit easier but it's not quite complete yet. If you feel brave I'm going to build a package for it soon. > > As an aside, I have got a connection over bluetooth to work, but it > > wasn't easy, mostly because I knew almost nothing about bluetooth at the > > time :) > > I've been using bluetooth connections for awhile now (with the > depricated dccm) without any real issue's, that part was actually pretty > well documented on the old synce site ;) > Should be much the same with odccm.
