Getting a program started at startup??
I need to start a program TRY.OUT which I have made using g++ in knoppix-autoconfig, but when I specify ./TRY.OUT in knoppix-autoconfig it gives "/etc/rcS.d/S00knoppix-autoconfig ./TRY.OUT file not found".
I copied TRY.OUT in /etc/rcS.d/TRY.OUT as well as /etc/init.d/TRY.OUT ; but still the problem is there.
Can anybody please help me.
ThankYou in advance...

You may not want it running as part of knoppix-autoconfig, especially if it depends on other services such as networking components and the like.
Best is to create a startup script for it.
cd /etc/init.d
vi tryout
(Use another editor if you don't like vi)
This will be a very simple shell script to start your application.
#!/bin/sh
cd /dir/where/TRY.OUT/is/saved
./TRY.OUT
Save it and exit. Make it executable.
chmod +x tryout
Now link it into your default run control folder (rc5.d for a graphical boot).
cd /etc/rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/tryout S99tryout
You link will start with S##, which indicates it is a script that starts a program/service, and the numbers indicate the order compared to other services that it will start. S99 would make it the last thing to start.

Thank you !
Thank You for all your help. Hope this works. One question that still bother's me is, are these scripts kept in /etc/rc5.d started as root, and if I have installed Knoppix on my hard drive, are this scripts started before I login ??
Thanking you in advance ...

Yes, these are started as root and they start before you login.
change the last line of the script to-
su -c "./TRY.OUT" knoppix
if you want it to be started by the user knoppix.
