 |
|
I was wondering if there was a way to send some commands to Linux while KDE starts up.
The problem is my network card doesn't automatically connect to a network so I just need to type this into a terminal after KDE has started:
| Code: | iwconfig eth1 essid Workgroup
ifconfig eth1 up
dhcpcd eth1
|
Is there a way to send these commands automatically? Sorry for any vagueness I'm a linux newbie.

Hi!
I think try this:
Config your eth1 in /etc/conf.d/net
Then start your Card that way: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart |
note there must be a start script if not copy net.eth0 to net.eth1.
If that works, your Config is correct, then tell the Default Runlvel to start your eth1 at startup:
| Code: | | rc-update add net.eth1 default |
now eth1 would be started at Linux startup.
I hope this would help, otherwise ignore my answer, I'm a newbie,too!  |

| I don't believe that would work because this is a PCMCIA card which is started with PCMCIA. I forgot to say that sorry. |

| Code: |
/etc/conf.d/local.start
|
Is where you can put commands to start automatically when booted. Just make sure you have local starting at boot time.
| Code: |
rc-udpate add local boot
|
This is when starting up the kernel, and not specifically for KDE. Hope this helps.

To start a program or command on kde startup, create a shortcut to a program/command (right click on desktop -> Create New -> Link To Application) and move it to ~/.kde/Autostart/.

I'm afraid that it's not possible when logged in as a normal user. dhcpcd requires root privileges so you'll need to do this unless to want to su to root every time you'll need net:
| Code: | | chmod a+s /sbin/dhcpcd |
Anyway, all the commands you want to be executed while booting should be placed in /etc/conf.d/local.start just like statmobile stated. And that's the best way accomplish this. |

It may help future readers if you explain exactly what it is you wanted, and how you got it done. I'm not even that sure myself.
