How to start automatically a script after that the knoppix user is logged on.

post #7 got past me with the darn ten minute edit rule

wrong

/etc/rc.local is an executable script itself.
your can reference other scripts in it.

Best to keep things small and separate.

Remainder of my post #7 about right, I think.

I copied script.sh inside /etc/

#!/bin/sh

clear
read -p "Insert your Windows installation disk and press a key to continue" disco
sudo mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
dosemu

I call it inside the /etc/rc.local file :

rc.local

....
/etc/script.sh

I made it executable,with chmod +x script.sh

and at the end I re-booted Knoppix with runlevel 2,but when it has finished to be loaded in memory,the script.sh is not started.

Since you made it executable it is better to remove the .sh extension and place your script in /usr/sbin, then make a line in /etc/rc.local
Make sure again it is chmod 755

rc.local is the last script executed at every runlevel 2,3,4 and 5
