Hi Autif, thanks a lot for providing the answer here. Since no one is
showing any objections here, I updated the wiki page with your answer
(https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_change_and_add_startup).
Please let me know if there is any suggestions or concerns.
This rather narrow answer is only useful if you are running a MatchBox
desktop.
There are many other deployment scenarios which would require a different
approach.
That is true.
However, All over the Yocto Project's website - the common bitbake
commands for an image is either core-image-minimal or core-image-sato.
(core-image-sato-sdk also uses matchbox).
minimal does not start any app - not counting daemons and gettys
If the user chooses another window manager - they are/should be on their own.
I just assumed that we are not trying to document the init process
(bootloader, kernel, initrd, inittab, init.d etc)
We are trying to answer a less experienced developer to replace the
default window manager with their own app
Then it should be made clear that this answer only covers that scope.
The Wiki page title implies that it is a more generic answer.
There is a chance that I am not aware of the default application being
other than matchbox. Can you please provide me some counter example?
I can think of many, most that are headless (no window environment at all)
