Just HD installed DLS on four old computers here and installed BOINC on each where it runs very well... one thing that I would like to know and that is I am starting the boinc manager manually at the moment but would like it to start automatically on boot-up?
If anyone can write an idiots guide to doing this I would appreciate it.
Yeah good question! I don't mean to high jack your post but I too would like to know how to add app's to the boot list, whatever where ever that is!? I would like ssh and vnc server to run at boot, I have both installed. Sorry if this is the wrong way to post about my needs! Peter /opt/bootlocal.sh works for 90% of what you will want.
Failing that, you can use ~/.xinitrc If it is something you need to start after X starts.

Thanks for your reply, that was fast! I have been messing with the bootlocal.sh file but have only managed to get text to appear at boot which isn't much use! What is the syntax/command for getting something to run and how do you find out what file to invoke in order to make it run at all? If I right click on the icon I use on the desktop to run the VNC server it tells me the command is '/usr.local/bin/vnc4x0.sh' but even if I run that from the treminal it doesn't work! Do I need to put 'start' or something along with it somwhere? I have also tried .xinitrc but with the same results! I am learning Linux commands slowly but surely, but don't yet have the needed knowledge to do what I want to!
Thanks for your help, Peter'/usr.local/bin/vnc4x0.sh' should be '/usr/local/bin/vnc4x0.sh'Next Page...
