Other Help Topics :: autostart / autoload / autoexec uci applications

I would like to have the Opera browser (I have it as uci apllication) started automatically after boot. I don't want to click the icon.

Is there a special folder where to move the file?

Or which script do I have to modify with which commands?

Thank you

With the latest DSL (2.3), you have a "mydsl" directory in the base of the system where you can put it in a frugal system or remastered cd.

With earlier versions of DSL, put the package in the same place where you'll find the "KNOPPIX" and "boot" directories. If you're running a liveCD, you will need to specify a location with the boot option "dsl mydsl=<partition>"

If you're using a traditional hd install, or embedded, i can't help....no experience there

I use "Opera.uci" from an USB-ZIP-drive installation.
The file is stored on "sda2" and boot-option is set to "mydsl=sda2".

I would like to have "Opera" started automatically, directly after boot. Without any click to the icon.

Is this possible?

Similar to adding a command to autoexec.bat on DOS.

Oh...i misunderstood.

Add a command to /home/dsl/.xinitrc, before the window manager is started...something like this...
/opt/opera/bin/opera & (the path might be different..check the fluxbox menu or icon command to be sure)

A default .xinitrc starts dillo in the same way, so you could just replace dillo with opera.

Ah, that's it, thanks!

I hope that I can handle uci-files in the same way, but I will check the icon command again.
