Application autorun

[sparks40]

I am trying to automatically start two applications each time I logon to Knoppix. I have created a .profile file in my home directory and entered the names of the two applications therein, but that does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

--Which ones? If they are X apps, you should use ~/.xinitrc. If not, try ~/.bash_login, and don't forget to chmod +x it.

Greetings all,

Do you mean you want to start two aplications each gtime you
boot up KNOPPIX?

If I understand the correctly, the KDE has an Autostart
folder that runs when KDE starts.

To find it got to home in KDE and click VIEW and
Show Hidden files.

Then open .kde and then open Autostart.

Script, program. or link here should do the trick. You may
need to include the command line su to run at the root
level.

I use the for a project for computers with no harddrives,
called burn_home which reads in persistent home from a
CDRW at boot up.

After you have put your script or links into /home/knoppix/.ked/Autostart
you must save the configuration and point to it on the boot
floppy -- unless you hardrive install or remaster.

Is this what you had in mind?

Best Wishes

Yes, they are Xbased programs which I would like to start each time I boot up Linux. I will try both suggestions. Thanks very much for you patience.
