 Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 3:24 am Post subject: automatically run a script when kde starts |
 |
|
I have two questions actually:
1. How do I setup a script to run automatically every time I boot into KDE. I'd like to setup a script which runs: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/xinetd restart |
...so that I don't have to manually type this every time I boot into KDE.
2. Somehow I lost my "tasks" panel on my taskbar. Every time I restart KDE I have to manually add this by right clicking and selecting Add to Panel > Applet > Taskbar. How do I get it to stay???
Lastly, in case there was any doubt, I'm using KDE on Gentoo.

Put it in ~/.kde/Autostart/ Make sure it is executable (chmod +x .kde/Autostart/filename).
Also, what version of KDE are you using? |

If you're using KDM you might put your commands in /usr/kde/3.4/share/config/kdm/Xsession
That's what I found out recently after a long time of using the Autostart method; the advantage of this is that it runs for each user which logs in, so you don't have to copy the Autostart file over to each users home directory!

why would you need to restart xinetd ?
the kde startup is not a proper place to run that i think.
is it missing from startup ? in which case do "rc-update add xinetd default" from console |

That's my question...
xinetd should not be restarted with KDE...
