Re: [PLUG] Autostart application under xfce |
Eric, et al, Here is a thread on the Ubuntu forum which addresses the same issue. Post #13 indicates simulating a load with a few resistors. That looks like the simplest solution under the circumstances. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1452600&page=2 Regards, Eric I suspect that without the monitor that xfce does not start or does not start properly. Xfree86 would scan for a monitor and fail to start if one was not there - Xorg is probably similar. I have a headless and "X-less" system that needs a specific fetchmail run for each user when it starts. I put the following shell code and put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to run after the boot was completed: cd /home/e-smith/files/users for USE in * do if [ -f $USE/.fetchmailrc ] then if [ -e $USE/bin/fetch ] then su - $USE -c /home/e-smith/files/users/$USE/bin/fetch fi fi done You could specialize this for your purposes and avoid relying on X or xfce ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
