Re: [PLUG] Auto start HTOP in tty.
There that brought a bunch of stuff back (old sux) and I started seeing light flashes, as I knew I had done it in the past but just could not remember how. This is a server box so there is no X on it. I will take a look at screen/tmux, and see how that does. Thank you very much.

That last line runs htop in tty7 accessible via ALT-F7 However, a better way is to use screen or tmux (or similar). That way you can access everything locally OR via ssh. If htop is already running on a tty, there is no good way to access it via ssh. If you are on a systemd box, then there is a config file for tty setup. -Ed signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] Multipass on Ubuntu
Fwiw, the download to initialize it was so slow, when it got to 50% downloaded, I started installing ubuntu-server in a VM with virt-manager and finished the install before the multipass thing was ready, so I still don't know anything about it ;-).

I think you want to look at /etc/inittab for that configuration. It may be helpful to look at how X is (re)spawned on your system and see if you can mirror that. dafr ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

[PLUG] Auto start HTOP in tty.
Folks, I have a server that I would like to have HTOP startup in one of the TTY's so far all I find are how to do it from the GUI (no gui this is a server) I would like for HTOP to start in say terminal 3 for grins (I use 1 and 2 for doing changes or whatever stuff I need if I am not doing it over and SSH screen) So far I have not been able to find some instruction to have a terminal (tty) start a program, any guidance here? -- Chuck Hast -- KP4DJT -- I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
