Does anyone know how can I safely start a program at the same time as JWM.

I have destroyed a few files trying to work this out.

You can use this dotpup:

Just added a small patch that makes it more reliable.
Just added a button "new entry" Smile

I have been using the Start-items dot pup to launch torsmo and it seems to work fine. I am not quite sure what you need to run but this should do it. It is in user contributed I think.

What I want to do is get Sticky Notes to stick to the JWM desktop, to do this I need to run a script to start the program.
I need the script to execute when JWM starts, in fvwm it is easy as the script can be started from .fvwm95rc.

just take my program.

It adds a line to .xinitrc

/root/wxb-autostart.sh&

In this file you can add any script or program using the grafical interface.

As wxb-autostart.sh runs in bakground (&) there is no danger it might prevent X from starting.

It has an example-entry:
sleep 3 && rox /root/my-roxapps/Radio3 &

I found out, that rox-icons are not visible, if you do not use the "sleep 3" when running a rox-app before rox-panel starts (which is started later in .xinitrc).

This program is designed for Puppy 1.0.5.
On older sytems, do this:
install also these 2 dotpups:

Sounds like your script and my start-items script do the same basic thing. Although I should rewrite mine to modify .xinitrc instead of replacing it.

this might (or might not) work in .xinitrc:
rox -o /root/my-roxapps/Radio3

you should not need the &
it might be better if /usr/local/bin/rox had the -o option in it, then it would not need to be used in .xintrc

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun -o "$@"

this would work better with my Rox 2.2.20 package too

rox may not need the -o option for some window managers

Yes, works (tried it with Icewm).
Strangely, if I run it from my included wxb-autostart.sh&
it still needs
sleep 3 && rox -o /root/my-roxapps/Radio3

If I don't use sleep 3, I can see no desktop-icons.

Thanks men, I've been busy with other stuff and have only worked on this when I could. I thought about using .xinitrc but was not sure if I would destroy it as well, now I have something definite I can work on.

I simply add this line in .xinitrc:
Code:

rox /root/my-roxapps/Start-Items/start

Then my start script is just a list of items that you want to run. Like so:
Code:

#! /bin/sh
rox /usr/local/bin/defaultemail
rox /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser


I haven't had any trouble with it in Puppy 1.0.3, 1.0.4, or 1.0.5

dvw,

Your solution looks quite comfortable Smile

my application does not support drag'n'drop.
