Since a few weeks my PC have been working slow and the gnome system Monitor says that my cpu is working at 100% all the time. when I ran top command appears:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
770 root 20 0 4060 308 240 R 76 0.0 8:41.05 yes

I was wondering how to run a bash command automatically on startup. on start-up have "alsamixer" or "start-network" executed from terminal.

I was trying to get my terminal to run fortune whenever I start it just for cosmetic value, so I tried changing the launcher command to gnome-terminal --command=fortune, but that makes it just output the fortune result and then terminate.

(Because I can't open Mozilla, since it pulls a profile from that partition, without authenticating; and I want to have Mozilla automatically launch on startup, but it can't launch if I need to type my password to gain access to the drive first!).

Recently I have had a run of random errors on boot up. Finally, the quit button, top right of the screen disappeared permanently. I am convinced it is because I added Evolution to the programs that start automatically when I login to Ubuntu (auto login). Evolution uses the Internet connection which hasn't been successfully established by the time it starts. In the past, this would crash Ubuntu. It seemed to be fixed by this stage, but maybe not. Is there some way of delaying the startup of a program in the automatic startup list - to give the rest of everything time to settle in - before it starts trying to use other startup resources?

So, I have to open up a Terminal window, and issue sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Windows and everything is fine.

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 added a 1TB USB drive to a Red Hat 5.3 system. I added the following line to the /etc/fstab to automount the drive at startup.If I manually the mount the drive (mount /mnt/external), I can access and read/write to the external USB drive without any issues. My problem is that during the startup process after a reboot, the drive is not being mounted automatically.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed denyhosts to help guard against bruteforce ssh attacks on my Fedora 12 server from the Fedora repositories. If I manually start denyhosts (as root) using: /usr/sbin/denyhosts.py --daemon
it works fine. The denyhosts log file is created and indeed the /etc/hosts.deny file is updated. However if I make attempts to start denyhosts automatically upon the server restart denyhost fails with a permission denied error for /etc/hosts.deny (error 13) I have tried using chkconfig to enable /etc/init.d/denyhosts on run levels 3, 4 and 5. I have also tried including the line:
/usr/sbin/denyhosts.py --daemon
in /etc/rc.local Both of these attepts report the same error. anyway to automatically start denyhosts or know why this problem might be happening?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to use pppoe because my ISP uses service names, and as far as I know the only program which lets me input a service name is pppoe (inside the pppoe.conf file). Networkmanager is buggy because it tends to disappear from the panel periodically and, worse, it doesn't reconnect (although the option is selected, it does reconnect only once).
So, for peace of mind I open a superuser terminal and enter "pppoe-start" and "pppoe-stop" to have everything I want (reconnects automatically, etc.). Now the question is: how can I have pppoe-start run at startup, automatically, without entering superuser mode, and without having a terminal open for this? Using Debian Testing (Wheezy).
