bootlocal.sh did not run on startup

[tomkva]

HI ALL,

i want to run rdesktop on TC strart up. i placed in /opt/bootlocal.sh
/tmp/tcloop/rdesktop/usr/local/bin/rdesktop -f terminal

tiny core is starting, but NOTHING!!! where is my rdp to terminal server??? ((

i`m on TC 2.7 version

very need for help....

Thanks

Bootlocal.sh runs before tc is logged in and X is started.
Any X programs that you want to run at boot should be added to .xsession.

[tomkva]

thanks

.xsesion in what directory?

[gerald_clark]

/home/tc/.xsession

[tomkva]

thanks

then i`m booting from usb then home/tc/.xsession

my point was pxe booting and auto rdp login screen to terminal server. i rebuild kernel with modified scel/.xsession

all works ok!!! booting is about 30 sec.!!!

last problem is: tc boot, user get win terminal login screen, but if they did not input username/pass som time, win terminal server drop session and user get standart, clean tiny desktop...

but bootlocal.sh problem is SOLVED, thanks a lot, Gerald!

You can put rdesktop in a loop:

while [ 1 ]; do
rdesktop -f terminal
done

[tomkva]

good idea!

i have in .xsession line full path/rdesktop terminal -f

can i use in .xsesion

while [ 1 ]; do
path/rdesktop -f terminal
done

?

it can be a perfect solution CURAGA!!!!

i can try only tomorrow in the morning 

[curaga]

Yeah, the full path works as well.

[tomkva]

ok, i will try

last problem:
user do log off from term server, is closing rdesktop window and will see clean TC desktop .....

maybe some ideas how to do then is closing resktop window, TC going to shutdown

[curaga]

Hmm, I don't know how to tell the difference between an user-closed window and a window closed by the app itself.

[tomkva]

i was try

while [ 1 ]; do
path/rdesktop -f terminal
done

but it didn`t work

Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0"
./.xsession: line 19: [1]: not found

I guess there are two unrelated things happening:

(1) Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0" is a warning message that appears on many occasions. I believe if you search this forum here you will find the repeated advise to ignore it.

(2) ./.xsession: line 19: [1]: not found There needs to be spaces around the square brackets. You will find that [1] fails, whilst [ 1 ] should succeed.

[tomkva]

it was spaces around the square brackets!!!!

Thank You Maro!!!


for a perfect thinclient missing solution for shutdown
problem is then i write POWEROFF the system is REBOOTING

any ideas?

[gerald_clark]

ACPI must be enabled in the BIOS and not disabled by boot code.

[tomkva]

in bios acpi support is enabled
can be, that TC sen wrong command for poweroff?
did i must modify kernel for this solution?
