bootlocal.sh & .X.d

[emninger]

I've a question regard this two entry points.

Do i understand correctly, that bootlocal sh executes before (and maybe even while) X comes up whereas all the entries in .X.d are started after X came up?

So, in this moment, my bootlocal.sh is empty, while i start from .X.d tor and polipo and also cups (the other entries are conky, xscreensaver, spideroak, volumeicon - which clearly presume X). My question is: Would it be more reasonable to put tor, polipo and cupsd into bootlocal.sh?

Thanks a lot for your patience!

Anything that has an /usr/local/etc/init.d startup script should be started in bootlocal.sh.

So, cups has to go to bootlocal.sh, while tor and polipo should remain in .X.d ... (?) Btw, bootlocal.sh is executed by root or by user?

Thanks a lot!

bootlocal.sh is run by root before any login.
Unless it is an X program, it should probably be run from bootlocal.sh
