And it was a disaster! Just putting the command into Autostart did not do the trick. It probably gave up, without superuser privileges. I tried a bash script with a 20s sleep and that stopped the system dead. I had to restart by leaning on the power button. I tried Task Scheduler, but it would only allow personal tasks and the restart command needs superuser privileges. I logged in as root and put a system task in. I tried it out and it claimed to be restarting the server, but it did not solve the problem. Running the command in a terminal as root was fine. I put xx at the beginning of the logitechmediaserver file in /etc/init.d. Even though it ran after the network management daemon, it was still too early. I am now stumped. For now, I will turn on the television I am using as a monitor and use my launcher to restart the server as kdesudo superuser. If anyone comes up with an effective way of running the Logitech Media Server machine as a headless commodity device, I would love to hear it!
