I have create a script to start a server(my first question). Now I want it to run on the system boot and start the defined server. What should I do to get this done? My findings tell me put this file in /etc/init.d location and it will execute when the system will boot. But I am not able to understand how the first argument on the startup will be start? Is this predefined somewhere to use start as $1? If I want to have a case startall that will start all the servers in the script, then what are the options I can manage.

I've looked everywhere but I can't find where to change the default box for incoming mail, or am I on the wrong track. It's a nuisance having to change folders and I can't configure wastebin to empty on exit.And I can't get kmail to import from evolution. Do I have to go to the evolution storage and do it manually, and if so, how do I do that?

how to execute commands on startup. I've added lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, /etc/rc.local, I've put scripts (with extension .sh) into /etc/init.d/ and I've set the executable permission thing on all of them with chmod -x. I *still* can't get anything at all to execute on startup. The truth is, I'm trying to enable multitouch and button tapping automatically when I startup Fedora. I have the commands
[code]...
Which I want to execute whenever I start Fedora (it's a bit tedious to write them every time, or even to have to execute a script myself whenever I start my computer). Furthermore, if I can figure this out, then I can do all sorts of things. Does anyone have a clear, surefire way in which I can do this? I'm not good with using Linux at all

I am trying to execute a 4GE file using command something like this "/usr/bin/ksh path of the file with some arguments " ex: /usr/bin/ksh /home/abc.4ge S "./xyz" . I am able to execute the 4GE without this "/usr/bin/ksh" specifying in the command which basically runs in ksh shell itself. But when i try to run it exclusively using the path of the shell it gives me an error something like this "/usr/bin/ksh: /home/abc.4ge: cannot execute". I did check the permissions and all the file has execute permission.
Skype works for me, but there is a small thing i like to solve. For the x64 version i need to start skype with a bash command so that the video and sound works and i thougth that a simple batch in folder bin would solve it. So that it gets executed automatically once the desktop loads. Seems it doesn't since i still have to do it manually. How do i execute a batch automatically upon startup under KDE?

I do not want to use cron.I want it to be instantaneous. I am working on a web server where the hosts turned-on safe mode and turned off a-lot of the functions for PHP (including exec) in order to secure their servers. Outside of that, I do have access to chroot and can pretty much do anything on the server. I want to use ImageMagick to create dynamic images based on form data.
I was trying to find a work-around with PHP where I can still use ImageMagick (a shell-based imagining program) by causing SQL to execute a shell script after the form data is saved to a table. Is there anyway it could cause a flag to automatically run a shell script when someone adds a new row to a certain table. It has to be instantaneous, more or less, so that the user isn't sitting there waiting for a minute for cron to catch any changes to the database.
This is weird. I have a shell script with no execute rights.$ chmod -x test.shThen I try$ test.shwhich does not work. (I have "." in PATH)When I do$ . test.shit works! I can run the script even though I have no execute rights. Why is that?Another question: If I have a shell script without a hash bang, I still can execute the shell script. Why? What does hash bang do? If there is no hash bang, why is the shell script run? What does the hash bang do

php. I am developing a web-interface for an application that sometimes needs root privs. Editting /etc/sudoers is not an option since the web interface needs to be portable to other users when they install my application. Is there any workaround ?PHP Code:
I am trying to run a script which would execute once the system start's up. I placed my script in /etc/init.d and made it chmod +x my-script and placed my script path in /etc/rc.local . It works fine in installed environment and its not working in live cd and USB.
I need to run a shell to enable pseudo-multitouch on my touchpad using a shell which automatically configs synclient.I put this file under /home/<username>/, and also put this to the Session manager under system menu. But it doesn't work. I've already used chmod command to make sure that the file is executable.
I'm looking to make a launching script which launches a program in one of the current directories that the user has open, the problem is I have no idea how to get info about all of the terminals open.I simply want to check which directories the user has open and do a pwd on the terminals, and then use that to cd into the dir before launching. I might be able to use a combo of who,tty, top, and pwd...but I don't know where to go.
privileges of above script are okay. I've tried so far:
- add command to /etc/rc.local
- add script to /etc/rc3.d/ and create symbolic link to it in /etc/init.d/
- add run script by @reboot annotation in crontab (crond automatically starts with OS)
and jboss still sleeps after reboot. I've noticed that commands which remove directories seem to work when I've added them explictly to /etc/rc.local. But next command which runs jboss hasn't been executed.
Whats wrong with this line?Code:sudo -u user /usr/bin/nohup sh /home/user/somescript.sh &This should ask for the password then execute the script at background and get back to menu
