Autorun

Hello,

I am new to Slitaz, and if possible i would need some help.

I would like to know which file i can edit to add a few commands to autorun after boot is complete.

I need vncserver to start automaticaly after boot (not after login) and also a command to be executed after that vncserver one.

Thanks,

Best regards.

Either edit /etc/init.d/local.sh or use this SliTaz Panel link below:

Thank you for the answer.

I tried to add the "vncserver :1" to the "local.sh" already but the vnc starts with gray screen.

It looks like something screen related isn't started yet.

I'm going to try that link in a second.

Thanks,

Best regards.

Re: Autorun

the links redirects to the same file with a nicer visual

It still happens, i launch the vncserver through the "local.sh" and it starts gray and i can't do anything.

If i start through the console at a later time i can get a right vnc.

Is there any other file i can write boot commands?

Best regards.

Re: Autorun

Looks like the vncserver needs to be run after login. That leaves a few files that can be used, like Openbox's autostart.sh file (which can be found as Auto started applications under Applications Menu--> Preference or Autostart script under the right click menu--> Openbox). There is also the .profile file under your home directory (hidden by default).

The difference between the two is one is run after Openbox is started and the other is run right after you login before X.org gets started.

Re: Autorun

I tried to mess with the .xinitrc and autostart.sh

The thing is, if vncserver runs over openbox-session the autostart.sh opens infinite sessions because each time a vncserver is executed, autostart.sh is also executed

if it's not run over openbox it doesn't run even a single time!

Same thing happens with .xinitrc, i can't get it to run one time!

One thing, should i use "exec vncserver" or only "vncserver" ?

Thanks,

Regards.

Re: Autorun

You should use exec for the last command in the script. It's one of those weird practices that nobody knows where it comes from anymore.

From my experience with VNC, it doesn't like X to be running on the same screen as itself - with TightVNC anyway. Standard posts also gets hammered, so use a non-standard one. You should also be logged in to use it. Beyond that I know very little about it because I use it with a Debian box.

I would still say .profile is your best bet because it's run before X.org and after login.
