I need help to start a program in a aterm window every time i start the computer i have try with

aterm -e theprogramfile

in bootlocal.sh but nothing happens when i start the computer

I think bootlocal.sh is too early in the boot process - have you tried putting it in .xinitrc

/home/dsl/.xinitrc is the right place to add the aterm command.

Remember to background it (aterm -e theprogramfile &) so .xinitrc can continue on and start the window manager.
