How can I make Monkey Web server automatically run on startup, I have dsl v 1.2 installed on my hard drive (for some reason i could not get dsl v 2.2 to install) and it is working fine. I was just wondering how to make this run on bootup, so I can turn my server on automatically (from the BIOS) in the morning without having to push the button in the control panel to turn monkey web server on.

One way is to add "/opt/monkey/bin/banana start" to /opt/bootlocal.sh, and backup that file if necessary.
If monkey is not a typical daemon (running in the background by default), you may need to add "&" to the end of the command.

sorry, but i don't do support via email or private message...only here and at #damnsmalllinux

/opt/bootlocal.sh should be writeable by user dsl, I believe. Maybe you are logged in as a different user? In any case, you can edit the file as root. Quick way to do it is by typing this in a terminal:

Code Sample

sudo echo "/opt/monkey/bin/banana start" >> /opt/bootlocal.sh

Note the ">>". That's 2, not 1. If you use just ">" it will overwrite the file instead of appending to it.

Another method for starting monkey automatically is to add the word "monkey" to your boot options. The precise method of doing this depends on which bootloader you are using.
