Had a look in init.d ... Scary! Sorry exe meaning an executable rather than specifically a windows program. The first that I want to tackle is Squid. I have built 2.5 manually and have to start it from the command line. auto starting would be nice since most things fall over when I'm not here :-) (except when I fiddle!)

If you want to run the exe you would have to do it as the user opens a Windows session - in which case include it in the relevant startup script (as set by the smb.conf entry). If you want to do it for a Linux session - you would have to ensure it runs under wine and force it to run at login on X - unless anyone has better ideas! I'm certainly open to learn from this one. I don't see how you could run an exe (unless it runs under DOS and you use dosemu, perhaps) from a startup script of any kind - Linux and exes don't talk - well, Linux might!
What about University Challenge then - "Unix, C, Linux" being the right answers!

Hi,
Can someone please help with autostarting a program.
When Linux starts, I want to start an exe before a user logs in (i.e as the machine boots), how do I do this?
Kind regards
