Fedora :: Running A Command At Startup?
Mar 12, 2010
I'm trying to get synergy+ to work on Fedora 12 on start up. I'd like to be able to log into Fedora using my keyboard and mouse through synergy+. I've tried adding the line
Code:synergyc <localipaddress> at the end of the /etc/rc.local file but I still can't use my keyboard and mouse to log in. I've also tried adding the lineCode:su <username> -c "synergyc <localipaddress>" to /etc/rc.local but it still doesn't work. Just to clarify, I do have synergy+ working on Fedora but I need to start it after logging in on each reboot by switching my keyboard over to the other computer.

I'm trying to start an Oracle Integration server as user "oracle" at system startup and my approach was to place a couple of lines in /etc/rc.localsu oracle/home/oracle/startallSomething is not quite right about this as it seems to leave some processes owned by root.

xmodmap /etc/xmodmap
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and need to remap keys. It only seems to work when I run it in terminal after I login.

Launch it now?" If I click yes then my screensaver works exactly as expected.How can I get the XScreenSaver daemon to start automatically?

my wireless adapter(WUSB600N) doesn't run when I log in. The driver is loaded on start-up but the green light is not on the adapter. I have to physically disconnect the adapter and plug it back in to get it recognised and it works fine afterwards

There is a script that I want to run as root when the machine boots up(which starts the Redhat Certificate System services). The problem I have is if I put this on rc.local it wont run because I havent logged in as root. Is there a way that I can run this without logging in as root at the machine startup?

I have problem for emerald and compiz in KDE fedora 11. The problems are:
1. Emerald is not running at startup so I have to type emerald --replace every time I login otherwise I get no windows border.
2. The static application switcher in compiz is not running at startup so I have to go to ccsm and disable then reenable it again otherwise when I point my mouse to the edges of my screen it wont do anything.

I am trying to execute 3 commands stacked together on a remote server. The purpose of the commands are to get the oldest path name, then the filename of the oldest file in that path, and then the date/time of that file.
The command I am running is: stat -c %y $( find -L $( find -L /home/data -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1 ) | grep txt | sort -f | head -1 ) This command works fine if I execute it on the command line of the server. However, when I try to use it in a bash script and execute it from one server on the other server using ssh, the command does not work.
Example:
oldest_file=`ssh -l root $IP "stat -c %y $( find -L $( find -L /home/data -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1 ) | grep txt | sort -f | head -1 )"`
I don't know why the command will execute if I run it straight on the server but not through ssh. I broke it down to just the 2 Find commands and saw with verbose turned on that the path from the first (innermost) Find is not being passed to the second Find so it is not returning a filename which inevitably makes the Stat command fail.
Also, if there is an easier way to do what I am trying to accomplish without stacking these 3 commands like this, then I welcome those suggestions as well since I am a Linux newbie.

How would I find out what servers are running on my local system from the command line? I cannot find out how to accomplish this anywhere?

In Fedora 13 64 bit, Ctrl+C does not terminate the running programing in terminal window but in Unbuntu this shortcut key works. If I hit Ctrl+Z, this makes the running program run in background which is something I definitely dont want. what is the shortcut for terminating a program in terminal window? What is the shortcut key for canceling the command I have typed but not run yet no matter where the cursor is in the command ? Ctrl+U works but only if cursor is at the last character of the command.

I've installed ssh, as well as a script of my own, in /etc/init.d, and I've added both of them to the startup sequence (I've tried both the "rcconf" graphical utility, and "update-rc.d"). The installation utilities seem to be working just fine and report success, and everything seems to be where it should be, but on reboot, my startup scripts don't start up.
I have these scripts running on MANY machines withOUT the GDM/Gnome Desktop running. On this ONE machine, though, I have Gnome running.
Is there some fundamental difference between the GUI Desktop's startup sequence and the text-mode-only startup sequence?

I have just installed a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 x64 installation. I have a script that I am added manually that is not starting on startup like it should, but I also have 2 normal startup scripts that are not running either. Apache2 and mt-daapd are 2 applications that I installed with sudo apt-get install apache2 mt-daapd. Neither application is starting during bootup. I tried making sure there were in the rc.d by using update-rc.d but both said that they already existed. Another script (mount_data) I made myself also has been added and is executable like it should be that isn't running at bootup.

I noticed my computer seemed to be running excessively noisily, and upon checking into System Monitor, I noticed that my CPU was being held constantly at 100%. None of the processes listed on the process tab seemed t be responsible, but I found this thread which gave me the 'top' command.
Running it, I found a process running as root called 'bmcapture' that was responsible for the CPU use. Trying to 'kill' it failed; using 'sudo kill' gave me no error messages, but the process continued to run. This carried on through a restart.
I then proceeded to shut the computer down and leave it off for a minute. When I booted up again, the CPU was still running at full, and using 'top' I determined the same process was responsible; however, 'sudo kill' successfully killed it this time, with apparently no adverse effects.
My question is if anyone has any information about what 'bmcapture' is, whether its harmful (aside from the obvious issue of it using full CPU) or malicious, and if there's any way to stop it running on startup, because as it is I'm having to manually 'sudo kill' it every time I turn my computer on to stop it eating my CPU alive.

I have a program I have made, and I would like it to run as soon as the system is finished booting. I am using Ubuntu Mini Remix to recreate a LiveCD/USB stick. After booting, it drops me to a command line where I can enter "sudo qct" and it will run my program (which is called qct, and it has to be run as root).I want this to be automated.Instead of going to a command line, I want it to run the program itself at that point. How would I go about doing this? I have read many tutorials about scripting but I cannot seem to get it to work.

I have not been able to find any information on this, mostly because I am sure I am searching for the wrong terms. Let me explain what it is I need to do.I have a timeclock process that needs to be running all the time on my Red Hat server. Right now, I manually start the process from terminal:Code:# ./timeclockThis runs the process inside the terminal. The only problem is that if I close the terminal by accident, the timeclock stops working. This is all well and good for now, until I get more timeclocks.Then I will need to have one terminal open per. What I would like to do is to make this process run at start up, and run behind the scenes (no terminal). At the same time, I need to be able to re-run the process (again, hopefully behind the scenes) in case the timeclock goes offline or the process crashes.I know very basic things about Linux administration, and I know it is possible to do this (as there are processes now setup by someone else that do this), I just do not know how. EDIT: An idea I had would be to make the script run every minute, checking to see if the process is already running, and if it is not, then to start it. That way it would automatically correct itself if it went offline.

Is there a way I can run 'completely' one of my script when ubuntu's desktop appears no matter if root , administrator, desktop user or an unprivileged user logged in?
What does the script do? The script mounts a partition, looks for a file in that partition and finally on the basis of that file a decision of copying a partition to another partition is made. That copying is done via
[Code]...

I run Ubuntu 10.04. For some reason, MySQL won't start on startup. How do I make it run on startup? I installed it by installing LAMP using tasksel and did everything according to: [URL]. Also, I have another problem: When I try to start/stop/restart mysql in the terminal, the terminal will not give me any prompts after entering the command. E.g., after entering "sudo service mysql start", nothing will happen. Even after waiting for 30min, nothing happens.

I want to launch qiv upon startup to show a series of photos in slideshow fashion (this will be the sole purpose of this particular laptop). I tried adding the command via System->Preferences->Startup Applications but this does not produce the desired result. In fact, the slide show doesn't even start.

I installed Gnunet (a secure P2P program) on Ubuntu 10.10 using Ubuntu software centre but had difficulties getting it to work so removed it. However, the gnunetd process loads at startup. It is only visible when typing 'top' in the console and not in the system monitor list of processes.gnunetd --version tells me that it is 0.8.1b sudo apt-get remove gnunetd tells me 'unable to locate package' why the process loads and how to remove it? I can kill it in the console but would like a way of getting rid of it permanently.

I am trying to run a script that runs at startup. I have followed directions found at this Website: [URL]. Everything works except the script which consists of two lines.
#!/bin/bash
sleep 30 && conky ;
I changed the file permissions to be executed and named it .conky-startup.sh.
Then I went to System>Preferences>Startup Applications and created a new entry that points to my script file. When I restarted my system, Conky didn't start. If I try to run the file from Nautilus or the Terminal, nothing happens.

Im not sure why they aren't working - but my startup applications are not running at boot. They run fine from terminal.
I have a startup application for Xchat and the command is just xchat (which works fine from terminal) but it isn't loading at? - I have checked and im not running in safe mode or anything like that - just the standard ubuntu desktop).
Unrelated Question:
Is there a 'global' i.p address I can use to represent all devices on my LAN - so I can mass whitelist in firestarter?

I have a script that needs to start executing on startup. Because I originally wrote it for MacOSX I never cared to learn how to daemonize it (thanks launchd!). Are there any relatively easy ways to run it on startup on debian to?
