Nice going Thomas! I have a hidden taskbar, so I guess I can live with
the command on the menu. I tried to create a new command, in addition to
a command I already had:

sudo sh -c 'fdisk -l /dev/sda | grep -i "^/dev.*fat.*" | cut -d" " -f1 >> 
/etc/pmount.allow'

but then I noticed that only one of the two commands is Autostarted. The
other appears on the menu, but is ignored. Is this a bug?


I ended up creating a directory named 'bin' on the server, at

/opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/bin/

and placed my script there. This folder is copied to the client, and
shows up at /var/tcos/bin/. Then I created an Autostart command on the
gui, that runs the script at /var/tcos/bin/.

This way, one can have much more complex scripts, then writing it all on
one command line.

Best regards,
Elio
