Hello, I was wondering if there is a way for a terminal program to startup automatically when a machine is restarted, and when you login it will show as an open window? If not, can it be startup if a user automatically logs in to the gui? Can it be startup just in the console with no gui? (This would be the best, as this program is running on a server and I don't need the gui running) Thanks, Dan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you're running KDE, there should be a directory ~/.kde/Autostart. Place a link or script in there, to run whatever you wish to start on desktop login. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If it does not actually require any input, you could write a script for it, put it in the /etc/init.d directory, and place the appropriate links in the run levels that you want it run in.

It sounds like you just want to change the default runlevel to 3 (full multiuser with network), instead of its current setting of 5 (full multiuser with network and GUI). If you go into Yast, select the "System" option, then "System Services", and then select the "Expert" mode, you can change the default runlevel to 3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I was wondering if there is a way for a terminal program to startup automatically when a machine is restarted, and when you login it will show as an open window? I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for here... (several permutations) but if you're running KDE, and you open an terminal (IKonsole) set it to size vt100 and save the defaults.... and leave it "open" when you log out of KDE,

This is only true if KDE is set to restore previous session when it starts. It is also possible to start with a manually stored session, or an empty session (ie. no applications running except any that might be in the autostart folder). -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Assuming you've got the desktop configured to re-open apps. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
