But it doesn't work. I've already used chmod command to make sure that the file is executable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an embedded PC104 application where I am trying to get my program to start automatically at power up. The program contains a graphical user interface, using an old SVGALIB (no longer supported). It works fine if I start it after log in.But when I put the path in rc.local, it will only run if I disable all the graphical stuff. The program bunts if it looks ahead and sees the call to vga_setmode(), where I set it for 480 x 640 resolution.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
My Script is like this:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
start

I use CentOS 5.5 and I've trouble in run shell script after system reboot. That script runs jboss server and it looks that way:
#!/bin/sh
rm -R -f /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/tmp/
rm -R -f /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/work/
/opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/bin/run.sh -c default -b 0.0.0.0 -C /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/lib/ > /dev/null &
I've created user account for jboss.
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.

View 10 Replies View Relatedusing any sort of rxvt-based terminal with TERM set to rxvt (or rxvt-unicode) then ^L will not clear the screen, only act as newline. This is not the behavior I see on Debian or CentOS. I have the same user environment at each site. Using urxvt on centos, ^L will clear the screen like readline(3) says it should. If I then ssh to slackware, it won't. exporting TERM=xterm will cause the correct behavior after having logged in to slackware, but I'd rather understand why this is happening. I've tried moving aside all the shell startup scripts, setting clear-screen explicitly in .inputrc, setting stty sane nothing doing. Am I missing something?

What I'm looking for it's something to auto-mount the cd in the fluxbox GUI when it's inserted just like in Gnome or Kde.
