Running a command at startup?


Hi,

I'm trying to get synergy+ to work on Fedora 12 on start up. I'd like to be able to log into Fedora using my keyboard and mouse through synergy+.

I've tried adding the line
Code:
synergyc <localipaddress>
at the end of the /etc/rc.local file but I still can't use my keyboard and mouse to log in. I've also tried adding the line
Code:
su <username> -c "synergyc <localipaddress>"
to /etc/rc.local but it still doesn't work.

Just to clarify, I do have synergy+ working on Fedora but I need to start it after logging in on each reboot by switching my keyboard over to the other computer.

Thanks for any help in advance.
Yarvin

synergyc doesn't work while start /etc/rc.local due to it's X application.
