You see, I am running a shoutcast server currently, how do I, when the computer boots up.
Automaticly tell it to load up two consoles (rxvt)

With..
./root/sc_trans_040/sc_trans_linux

(and then another console)
/usr/local/shoutcast/sc_serv

(And also, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, would there be a way to automaticly put them in my tray?)

You could try the litte start-items Rox-App that I wrote.

i haven't tried start-items yet ... it sounds like a very useful app

you could write a script (i think with Puppy 1.0.4, you can right click on a rox window and click New Script) ... something like:

#!/bin/sh
rxvt -e /root/sc_trans_040/sc_trans_linux &
rxvt -e /usr/local/shoutcast/sc_serv &

and run the script from /etc/profile, probably put the line just before exec xwin, like this:

/root/shoutcast/run-shoutcast
exec xwin

if you called the script run-shoutcast and put it in /root/shoutcast

if you run Icewm, you can have a tray icon for rxvt if you put this line in /root/.icewm/winoptions:

rxvt.tray: 1

but there will be a tray icon for ALL rxvt windows

you could make a symlink or 2 to rxvt, so rxvt runs with a different name

for example, you could drag rxvt from /usr/local/bin/ with the middle mouse button to /root/shoutcast/ and click Link ... rename the link to shoutcast1 ... if you like, you can make another link, and rename it shoutcast2

then your run-shoutcast script could be:

Let us know where you put it and how you get on Smile

Well.. I tried that auto-start manager thing.

I "think" it runs, but whenever it loads it just exists back out again.

(I used the same technique as I did with Dream Seeker (a few posts back.))

You got it flash - but the index entry is not required (though indexing is also worth considering) - that is automated - you will see an index at the top of the wiki

- so worth doing a hunt around there . . .

Using a wiki (and Puppy is developing one of the best) is useful - it is concentrated info
