 Start file in: /etc/init.d runs app. but no arg. [ Solved ] |
|
As said, the app. starts and works except for the command line argument to pop up ROX.
Typing "ps -C auto-drive" gets: " 4612 ..... /bin/sh /root/my-applications/auto-drive/auto-drive -rox"
It shows that auto-drive was run with the argument "-rox", running "auto-drive -rox" in rxvt works fine.
I assume that the variable that holds the argument gets lost in the rest of the boot process?
Update: I tried exporting the variable to see if it would carry through the boot process... Nope.

Success.!!! It works properly when I put the command line in the file: /root/.xinitrc
SO... This is a very good argument for my suggestion in my other post: "Q and Suggestion".
Why not have a dir.: /etc/init.x for startup files to run any apps. late in the boot process?
It appears that using the standard startup dir.: /etc/init.d has some serious drawbacks...

There's always /root/Startup for your own start-up stuff.

It looks like that dir. is what I was looking for, I searched /root/.xinitrc for a dir. like this.
I wonder what script it is run from?

sunburnt,
Another possibility is placing the startup program in JWM like this | Code: | | <StartupCommand>program-name</StartupCommand> |
Programs placed in /root/Startup are run at the end of the /usr/sbin/delayedrun script.
Cheers,
