Apps :: run mydsl-load when starting dsl

When I start the following script manually as user dsl from within my PXE booted DSL, java is installed and my application git is started:

[CODE]
cd /
mydsl-load jre1_5_0.tar.gz &
sleep 20
export PATH="${PATH}:/ramdisk/opt/jre1_5_0/bin"
cd git
sh git.sh
[CODE]

The only thing that I still want is to execute those steps automatically when booting.

So I remastered an succeded with:

- extending PATH via .bashrc
- suppressing dillo in .xinitrc

But calling mydsl-load via .xinitrc leads to the error message, stated in the beginning.

Any ideas

.xinitrc runs from within /home/dsl. Unless you use the absolute path to jre1_5_0.tar.gz, mydsl-load won't find it:

mydsl-load /jre1_5_0.tar.gz

or

cd / && mydsl-load jre1_5_0.tar.gz

I don't recommend the cd method, though, unless you cd back to /home/dsl after mydsl-load. It will cause problems for you later, since the window manager will also start from / and some things in DSL rely on paths relative to /home/dsl

Hi Mikshaw,

you did it!
I now use the absolute path ... and it works.
So I have a way to use mydsl-extensions within a PXE booted DSL installation.

Now we take a break and go to Paris for week ....

Thanks
