Puppy slacko Startup items not working

#1 Post by Srenga »

Hi,

I added below script as a symlink under /root/Startup. But script fails to execute on startup. I have done the same in lucid and it works just fine.


Script is located under /root with name run.sh. Works fine from command line but after I remaster the iso, it fails to work. Even on remastered ISO, i can start it manually from Startup folder by issuing "run.sh"

# ls -l run.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 2 23:06 run.sh -> /root/run.sh
#

#!/bin/sh
python /root/kick.py
python ./traffic_client_master.py


Any ideas how to get it working

hi Srenga

if it's the latest slacko beta i think that startup items are now in /root/.config/autostart be sure to read the read me file in that folder as you will need to create a .desktop file for your script
