I remember when I used Mandriva you were able to
get apps to 'autorun' by adding the run command to
a file which was something along the lines of:
/etc/initrd/rc0
I see Ubuntu has similar files so if I wanted to
have an application run at startup which file should
I edit and add the command to?
Having just had to do this on my system, I'd like to share what I learnt with
those that might not already know. The steps are:
1. Create your script file. There is a template file (/etc/init.d/skeleton) that you can
use, although (as what I was doing was trivial) I didn't bother using it myself. All I
did was add the line #! /bin/sh to top of the script and checked that parameter $1 was
set to be "start".
2. Copy your script to /etc/init.d. and then use the update-rc.d command to
install it. Adding the remove parameter to this command will uninstall your
script.
Can't you just add the commands you want to /etc/rc.local ?
