[solved] TCL Custom Bootup
souren:
I have successfully managed to install tiny core linux onto a fairly old piece of hardware at work, that runs on a Pentium 100 with 64MB RAM, and uses a 128MB CF Card. The box is starting up and I can see the Desktop...so that part is all good.
However, the box has an internal watchdog that kicks in after every 30secs of inactivity, unless otherwise stopped. This requires me to write a small bit of code and have it executed at bootup.
Can someone please tell me how I can go about doing this...I am a bit lost at the moment.
Thanks.

Just been doing some reading...based on what I need to do, I am guessing that my app needs to go inside the /tce/optional folder.
Is that right? If so, how do I get it auto-execute on bootup?
Please help.
Regards,
Souren

/opt/bootlocal.sh is for user processes at boot.

Thanks.
So, that's a folder (and file) I need to create in the CF card? And on bootup TCL will just pick it up?
Juanito:
You need to create a folder /tce somewhere permanent where your extensions will be stored. Once created the app browser will automatically store extensions there.
You can use panel/apps audit to manipulate how extensions are handled by tc - there's "onboot" (i.e. loaded every boot) and "ondemand" (added to desktop right-click menu) and if you choose neither you can load the extensions manually from the app browser using "local"
