Made a little c-program i want to start at boot and found out that i can do that through the rc.local script that runs once every time the computer boots. Say that i have a program called test in /home/user/Documents... what do i write rc.local?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 10 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot up my machine (running CentOS 5.5), I have no internet connection. ifconig doesn't show that eth0 is present. Going into my Network Gui from the administration tools, it says that eth0 is not active. I can't activate it from the GUI.But...If I sudo dhclient -d eth0, the process runs for a little bit, and all of the sudden my internet connection is there.
There must be some sort setting that I need to change to avoid doing this everytime I start the machine. Its odd, because I have an identical machine right next to it that doesn't have this problem.
Startup script. I have a problem with an error on system boot:
hub 2-0:1.0:unable to enumerate usb device on port 5
This error is continuous, filling up my system logs. It is also a known kernel bug. I found a solution here: [URL] but it is only good after I boot. I have tried to make a startup script in /etc/init.d in the following manner.
sudo mkdir /opt/usb/
sudo gedit /opt/usb/usbproblem.sh
#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 345 91 19
# description: stop usb problem on startup

cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
sh -c 'find ./ -name "2-0:1.0" -print| sed "s/.///">unbind'
cd ~

exit 0
#End of boot script

sudo cp /opt/usb/usbproblem.sh /etc/init.d

I work for a food manufacturing company in Sheffield and we have a machine called a duck injector which operates off a Human Machine Interface Touch Screen. The program inside this has been written and runs using Linux. This is stored on a Compact Flash Card.
This screen has been damaged and isn't made anymore so we've been sent a new screen which is a 12'1" Intel Atom N270 HMI.
I simply tried to put the Flash Card in the port and powered it up (booting from a removable source) and i get the following:
I've had absolutely zero experience with Linux so i'm completely stuck as to what to do to get it to work.
I've got a flash card with XP on it so i can boot up in that but then it won't read the flash card with the program on because it's in Linux (presumably?)
I've also tried downloading Mubuntu 10.10 and booted it up using that on a flashdrive - this allows me to read the flash card with the program but i can't get it to boot up/run.
just installed iptraf and was using it. However, I lost the SSH link while IPTRAF was running. Now when I try to go into detailed statistics it says: detailed interface stats alreday monitoring eth0. How do I stop that so I can start it again? I tried kill and the process id which I found using pidof iptraf but it won;t stop the program.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running the latest suse release downloaded directly from their website. I ran the installation after buring the dvd and everything seemed to be working fine. after the installation i ran updates and used it for a little bit. When i shut it down that night and went to restart it I got an error that stated the OS wasnt there. I then went through the installation and everything and it retained the information from the installation before (web history etc.) but for some reason every time I reboot or shut it down the system is not able to read the startup information from the hard drive and will not come on without me re installing it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server which runs a game server. On that dedi, I had Debian installed, and I wanted to have graphical access to it so I installed Gnome and nxserver. I want the game server to run automatically when the server boots up and have it appear in a console window when I connect to nxserver. So I added it in the Startup list by going in System > Administration > Session.
My problem is that the program doesn't start when the system boots up, but only when I connect to nxserver. So I assume it is something like gnome not starting up or opening a session until I open one remotely or something such.
But is there anyway to have that game server start in a console window when the system starts up? I tried using init.d but the problem is that it doesn't open any window, and I need to interact with the server through the console. What can I do?
I was in Startup Application Preferences and I was managing the list of startup programs when I accidentally clicked Remove. Now it's gone and I don't know what it was. The very top one, above Certificate and Key Storage.

View 2 Replies View Relatedthe startup of programs when i log into my Ubuntu Account.
My Operating System:
- Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala (only using Gnome)
Programs at StartUp:
- Mozilla Thunderbird (2 email-accounts for business)
- Emesene (MSN Client for business use)
- FireStarter (I know it's just the GUI, but i love to view the Logging at realtime since Ubuntu is the Main-Server in my network)
Is it possible to configure the startup, so that the programs start running AFTER the Network Connection is established?
The "System Settings/Startup Programs" window is large enough but the "Program" column is too narrow and it cannot be resized. The window can be dragged to make it larger but not the individual columns. It looks like a Java listbox with "Enabled = false" set. This occurs in Debian8 64 bit and also in Mint 17 and Mint LMDE2. I am surprised nobody else has raised the issue. I have a basic setup with 22" screen and 1680 x 1050 resolution. It occurs with Nouveau and NVidia drivers. It is not a critical bug so I have coped with it for 2 years but it would be nice to see it fixed. Unfortunately I could not upload a screen shot as "board attachment quota has been reached".
