RE: [expert] How (or can) I
You can always put in custom startup information in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Would that solve your problem?

I can't find anything that will work. Basically, an X session has to be started and logged in to accept connections as the correct user to start the Wine/Faircom combination. Only then will Wine actually start. I can get Wine to start automatically when I manually log into the GUI but I cannot start the X session (already logged in) automatically. -Original Message- From: Mike Rambo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 1:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] How (or can) I make Wine start at boot time.

How about using the new(er) autologon feature? I believe 7.2 offered this. John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC.
Re: [expert] How (or can) I
What if you boot into X directly (runlevel 5)? Will the command in rc.local work then? Maybe not. I wonder how to script a login session. Maybe then you could run startx and then run your program. -- Stephen On Wednesday 27 June 2001 04:11 pm, Mike Rambo wrote: David Joham wrote: You can always put in custom startup information in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
