in /etc/X11/ run your script u can override your application before the desktop came but no window manager ... just go through this init.d .. it will give u clear idea ...


this path /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ ... run a script that execute your code ...

[qtlinuxnewbie]

DO any one have sample scripts, any examples, any links for the above details..

hey ... a simple linux script to run your qt application ... its very easy ...

[qtlinuxnewbie]

alright here goes ...

#!/bin/sh
 
USAGE="usage: $0 {start|stop}";
 
usage() {
  echo $USAGE >&2
}
 
ss_start() {
        cd /usr/local/qtsoft/bin
        ./my_qt_app &
 
}
 
ss_stop() {
        killall -9 my_qt_app
 
}
 
case $1 in
  start)        ss_start ;;
  stop)         ss_stop ;;
  *)            usage
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

#!/bin/sh

USAGE="usage: $0 {start|stop}";

usage() {
  echo $USAGE >&2
}

ss_start() {
        cd /usr/local/qtsoft/bin
        ./my_qt_app &
        
}

ss_stop() {
        killall -9 my_qt_app
        
}

case $1 in
  start)        ss_start ;;
  stop)         ss_stop ;;
  *)            usage
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

I normally bung the startup scripts in /etc/init.d/myscript

and run chkconfig to sort out the rc links.

We probably should not be discussing linux booting in this forum though.
