I need some help with the autostart topic
 

:Pengy:

Hello there,

on "Desktop 4" i have a console running the "netstat"-command.
Everytime i reboot my system the console appears on my Desktop 4 but
without running the "netstat"-command.

I now this is an easy or silly question, but its my first working with linux.

I think i have to config a file. Perhaps like running a deamon from startup, but i have no idea to solve it. :cry:

os.: Mandrake 9.2 - KDE

running gnome or kde?

oh i forgot..
 

running KDE :rolleyes:

Go to KDE Control Center - Components - Session Manager, either choose "Start with an empty session" or "Restore manually saved session" then save the session(an option will appear in kde start menu) with nothing running.

oh i forget to post my real problem :)
 

Well everytime i reboot i got the console on desktop 4.

My problem: How can i get the netstat-command started in the console automatically?

sorry bout this confusion, but foreign system and foreign language :)

It sounds like what is happening is that the terminal is opened alright, but the program isn't started, which sounds quite normal. You could make a really tiny script that contains just the netstat command you normally run (with all switches and parameters) and then have that autorun instead of the terminal - it should open a terminal anyway, so give it a go.

Yes thats exact the point.
So can anyone give me an example on that?
I don't know how to create such a tiny script.
