Hello again......
I have a small dillema.
I was a part of the rc5 cracking effort when I had win95. I want to rejoin, so, I downloaded the latest version and extracted the files to my /home/user/rc5 directory.
from there I typed ./rc5des -config and configured the program to my settings.
Then I ran it...... ./rc5des
Aha!! Problem...... when it runs it takes total control of that console. Meaning I have to Ctrl-Alt-F3 to get to a new console and re-login as myself again and continue normal tasks.
Is there a way that I can make the rc5des executable start upon the system starting.
What I want is that I want that program to start regardless of who or wether anyone is logged in.
Sort of like a WinNT process.
Can anyone help me on how I might go about doing this?
Yeah, you have to do something like nohup ./rc5des > /dev/null & the nohup makes sure that when you log out of the console, the program keeps running. Redirecting to /dev/null keeps the output from appearing on hte console and the & makes the program run in the background and releases your console for use. Place this line in an appropriate place in /sbin/init.d/boot.local so it will start up with automagically. lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in.
