 |
|
Hi,
I would like to start couple of my runlevel scripts (with graphical output) after kde is started.
How do do that?
I tried to add in my runlevel scripts 'after xdm' in the depends section but
this did not work.
Thanks in advance ...

| I'm not sure if I understood correctly but you can simply run something like /etc/init.d/foo start |

If you do mean KDE, as in after a user is logged in and there is a desktop, then create a script in ~/.kde/Autostart. It will get run when KDE starts.
Add the /etc/init.d commands to a sudoers file as NOPASSWD, or create a SUID wrapper to start the services and link to that in Autostart.

Thank you for your answers.
@pussi
yes, I do have a script like /etc/init.d/foo which
i am starting manually already.
@pteppic
Good idea. I'll try this.
What is still missing is a hook to run /etc/init.d/foo stop automatically when I stop kde.
Is there something like this?
From my old debian machine I am used to have a runlevel 5 which would cover this scenario.
It was handy to have a separate runlevel just for the xserver.

You can still have a runlevel 5 | Code: | mkdir /etc/runlevels/five #make the runlevel directory
for file in /etc/runlevels/default/*;do rc-update add $(basename ${file}) five;done #copy level 3 to 5
sed -i 's/l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default/l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc five/' #define the new runlevel in inittab
rc-update add <level five only script> five #add extra scripts |
You can edit your default runlevel in /.etc/inittab too | Code: | nano /etc/inittab
~~~snip~~~
# Default runlevel.
id:5:initdefault:
~~~snip~~~ |
As for running things on the exit of KDE, you can kinda fake it by using the System Notifications in kcontrol. There is a 'KDE is exiting' event; in the advanced options you can make it run a command on exit, which can point to a wrapper that starts your exit scripts. I used to use it to shutdown azureus cleanly on logout.
EDIT: Also, I think if you put xdm as a | Code: | depend() {
need xdm
} |
in /etc/init.d/foo, it would get stopped before xdm if you did manually stop xdm.
