questions...how do I add commands to startup?

[ghostblaze]

ok, I have a p3 550 that I use knoppix on, mainly remotely with nxserver from my xp box... now, I have VARIOUS questions, and maybe some of you gurus can shed some light on these issues... first, I use knoppix remotely with nxserver, so how do I get nxserver to run on startup? so I don't have to keep attaching the monitor when I need to execute the server program... I also need to setup up network mounts on boot.... aswell as mounting of anoter harddrive I just added (has a gentoo install for my athlon xp [xp box], it is called hdb3 and I need that to mount on boot aswell so I don't have to mount from console everytime I boot)

I also what to share a folder within hdb3....

....AND... :/ I have two nics in this system, one connected to a router, and another connected to another p3 550 through a crosswired cat5...

so I need to set up something like a network bridge in xp... I have no clue in linux, searched the web... and I couldn't find anything similar to my setup...

basically, I have most of the stuff setup (except the bridge) but I need to know how to get it to launch right after (or before) kde loads... it's a knoppix hdd install, just like as if I booted off the cd, only using the 2.6 kernel... man does it run nice and fast... nxserver makes it feel like I have it installed on the box I use it from... but yeah... I have 7 computers in my network..... :/ so any help with any of these questions would save ALOT of my time, especially seeing as I attend school and I'm currently looking for a job... as well as in the midst of helping friends move.... I don't even have time to whack off... and I'm not lying... any help would be greatly appreciated... even rewarded if u trade files and such... cheers

1) You could create a script to start nxserver.

#! /bin/sh
#
/usr/bin/nxserver --start

Named this script something like startnx.sh and save to /etc/init.d/
Then run in root konsole: update-rc.d startx.sh defaults
Make sure ssh is running on startup too.

2) You need to edit /etc/fstab in order automount to work insert auto:
ex:
/dev/hdb3 /mnt/hdb3 vfat auto,users,exec,umask=000,quiet 0 0

3) Sharing folder a bit tricky. I'm using samba. Right click on the folder you want to share--->properties--->Samba tab---->tick on Shared and put a name.
Then go to Share tab and click on Configure File sharing.
If the icon of your folder changed with small plug ontop then the folder is ready to be shared.
Do this only when automount is success.

4) You mean you can't just use router for both pc?
This one I'm clueless, but I found something similar:

Good luck

"update-rc.d"!!!!!!!!


ahahahhahahaahaha

and there I was typing in rc-update..... too much gentoo for me.... :/

[ghostblaze]

man, I'll see if it works.. I'm sure it will.. I don't think I could've asked for a better explanation...

or did I?

:/

thanks for the wisdom

[ghostblaze]

yeah, never mind the router part... I changed the topology, give the knopper 3 nics, had the cable modem connected to one, and the uplinks of the routers connected to the other... I seriously thought my post got erased because I said. So I made another post... but yeah...

I really hope that this knoppix box won't bottle neck my network like when I was running 2k3 server... but yeah here goes...

[ghostblaze]

yeah the script doesn't seem to work, or atleast when I try to connect it says 'connection refused'

so I HAVE to goto 'KNOPPIX' -> services -> start NXServer

and I don't have a samba tab when I go to properties or share...

:D Yes, we all have to make sacrifices while learning this stuff....even if it means sacrificing whack-off time. But the benefits far outweight whacking off! :shock:
