Re: [mythtv-users] Re: autostarting mythfrontend under GNOME?
From the bash man page: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter active shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior. When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists. In other words, unless bash is executed with the specific -l or --login argument, these files are ONLY executed at login. -Thom, who's only been doing unix 20+ years On Tue, Mar 08, 2005 at 09:38:59AM -0500, Thom Sturgill wrote: docs are on autostarting mythfrontend under KDE, any way to do that under GNOME, too? What's wrong with calling it from .bash_profile ? Haven't tried it myself, but I would think it should work. Starts before all of Gnome is finished loading, but after your environment is set. Since mythfrontend does not run in a window anyway that should be ok and should work in any X environment. I really like mythfrontend, but not as much as to call a copy of it on each invocation of the bash :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Not to beat a dead horse too badly, but determining whether you are in an xterm is trivial. .bash_profile: if [ $TERM != xterm ] then ./startmyth fi then write a simple startmyth script (make sure its executable): #!/bin/bash sleep 10 # let gnome finish startup /usr/bin/mythfrontend Of course adding it to .xsession works equally, but more people are adept at scripts than configuring X. - Thom Thom Sturgill [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On Tue, Mar 08, 2005 at 09:38:59AM -0500, Thom Sturgill wrote: docs are on autostarting mythfrontend under KDE, any way to do that under GNOME, too?
