start up shell script

[koenh]

Hello,

I want to run a program at startup. This program is extracted in a subdirectory in my home folder. it is started by executing the a shell script.

for the moment, i need to go every time to the subdir and then "sh command.sh start"
Can i automate this?

Already thanks.

If this is a non-X program that should be run as root, put it in /opt/bootlocal.sh.

If this is an X program, add a startup script  in  ~/.X.d
EX:
# Start myprog
myprog &

Hi koenh
Add a line similiar to this:

Code: [Select]

sh /home/tc/Subdirectory/command.sh startReplace the word  Subdirectory  with the subdirectory your command is located in.

That really should be packaged as an extension, not just left in /home/tc.

ok,

i did some further search, and it should start when i put a script in the /etc/init.d
I have a script to test from the forum of the specific application. (OpenRemote)
The problem is that my /etc is not persistent.
I have once seen a command to make persistency, but i cannot find it anymore.

How can i once make all directories persitent for once?

Already thanks.

Startup scripts should install to /usr/local/etc/init.d

You do not make all directories persistent.

Please spend some time in the wiki reading about persistence and backups.
