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.

:cool:

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'
