Apps :: RDesktop kiosk problem
I am trying to run rdesktop recursively at startup with DSL. I have managed to finally get that it to run once at startup by execing it in the .xinitrc . Now there are two issues,
One: When it does startup at boot the ASCd box shows up on the upper lefthand corner of the screen and will not go away.
Two: When rdesktop exits it exits back to prompt and just sits there. In order for it to come back I have to type xinit and it starts back up again.
this is how my scripts look like:
(.xinitrc)
fi
exec /etc/init.d/nt
fluxbox
(nt)
while [ true ]
do
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit /etc/init.d/nt_con -bpp 8 :0
done
(nt_con)
/usr/X11R6/bin/xsetroot -solid black
exec /usr/bin/rdesktop -f (ip here) -a 16
I've tried the inittab route with no luck. rdesktop couldnt startup from there. The above is the route that has gotten me the farthest.
