SOLVED: Start mnttool (and conky) automatically at boot
OldAdamUser2:
I'd like to have the mount tool on my screen automatically as soon as Tiny Core boots into X. I've tried a number of different ways of doing this with bootlocal.sh and .xsessions, so far with no success.
Basically, I tried adding "mnttool" or "exec mnttool" or "sudo mnttool" in each file. No joy.
Any hints would be welcome.
^thehatsrule^:
.xsession would be the correct file
It may need to be backgrounded, i.e. `mnttool &`
OldAdamUser2:
Thanks for the tip. I tried a couple of variants, so far without success.
mnttool $ (as a separate line in .xsession did not work).
Then I decided to try it at the end of the line that invokes flit:
[ "$DESKTOP" == "flwm" ] && flit && mnttool $
That didn't work either. I don't yet know enough about scripting to KNOW what I'm doing! Trial and error is my thing. Mostly error.
Lee:
Maybe try putting it in .xsession?
OldAdamUser2:
Finally got it right. In .xsession I need the line:
exec /usr/bin/mnttool &
To automatically start conky, I need--
exec /usr/local/bin/conky &
Thanks for the help, guys!
