I hope I didn't send this out twice... I'm new to unix (let alone debian) and I can't seem to figure out two problems (which I think are related...)
1) Where do I put programs (daemons) that I want to automatically startup, ie., what is the "Autoexec.bat" file of the unix world? I looked in .bashrc and .bash_profile, which seem to set a lot of enivronment variables, but I don't se if you can put programs in this. In particular, I need to startup my postgres postmaster daemon no matter what account you're logged in as...so I need a system-wide init file. 2) I'm using Fvwm2 and FvwmButtons...and I must be doing somehting wrong. I can start my StarOffice applications from the command line (ie. swriter3 &) but the `Exec "" swriter3` command attatched to FvwmButtons or a menu don't seem to work...I'm wondering - are the enivronment variables (there are many for StarOffice) visible to fvwm2, and if not, how can I make it so? (I've set the variables in both .bashrc and .bash_profile). Sorry for the certainly simple questions, but I can't seem to find the answers in the simple FAQ I found... +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew Akins | | Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ames.net/igor/ | | Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.cms-gt.com/ | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | May your villages remain ignorant of tax collectors, and may your | | sons be many and ugly and strong and willing workers, and may your | | daughters be few and beautiful and excellent providers of love | | gifts from eminent families that live very far away, and may your | | lives be blessed by the beauty that has touched mine. | | - Number Ten Ox, "Bridge of Birds" | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
