 Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2005 5:46 pm Post subject: Running a command when gnome starts |
 |
|
Hey, In order for my printer to work correctly...I have to wait till after gnome has started, open a terminal, su to root, and run:
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/hplip start |
The reason I dont just do and rc-update and add this to default is because when I do that I run into a bunch of startup warning messages about hplip and to run depscan.sh (which didnt work when i ran it)....but when I start hplip from gnome it works flawlessly.
My question is, how can I automate /etc/init.d/hplip start everytime I log into gnome?...I tried using the startup tab in the session preferance, but It doesnt work (im assuming since I need to su before I can run the command). Is there any other way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance |

Something like
/etc/init.d/hplip start &
exec gnome-session
added to your .xinirc ?

.xinitrc isn't executed with root privileges, so "/etc/init.d/hplip start" wouldn't work.

is it dependant on GNOME starting of X started?
IF it needs X to have started you could edit that init script and make it start after "xdm"
