Yes. According to "man bash", section "INVOCATION", mentiones other file names: Bash reads and executes ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile (in that order), so you can add the line "[ ! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ] && startx" (short form is completely okay and valid) at the end of ~/.bash_login - or also .profile, but it makes more sense in putting it into something related to "login" rather than a "profile", but that's debatable semantics. :-) The line "[ ! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ] && startx" is correct C shell, sh (Bourne) and bash syntax. > I have hostname="grullahighschool" in /etc/rc.conf file Did you add a domain name (.local or .lan are okay)? Something like 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 grullahighschool.local grullahighschool 127.0.0.1 grullahighschool.local. should work if hostname="grullahighschool.local" is given. Don't forget to assign an IP for localhost, too (can be the same). See "man host" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
