Problem in using inittabl to call a function in CentOS

LinpusKelvin · 07-07-2010, 03:10 AM

I am sorry. T tried the steps that u told me but it doesnt work. Usually, when we type in the terminal for the script, we need to type bash heritrix.sh

I wonder whether we need to somethings like that on somewhere.

Is there any other solutions or things to add on.

Really glad and looking forward to hear from u.

Thanks again

Since the script is executable there is no need to run it through bash. You can just use the full path to the script:

Code:

/root/heritrix.sh

so you can also do the same for the gnome startup programs menu.
Take a look at this example (in the place of firefox you can put your script) to see how it's done.

I tried it on the rc.local for the script that end with & but also cant work.

I tried it on the startup that u showed me, but also cant work.

By default the software in web base will start once I type in 127.0.0.1:9090 after the script is initiate.

If that's the case, remove the script from /etc/rc.local and put it in gnome startup programs you'll be set.

that's might be reasonable solution

I guess you mean that you have to open a browser and use that URL to access the server.
If that's the case and you want the browser to also open on startup with the above URL, you can add the following at the end of your script (assuming you use firefox)

Code:

/usr/bin/firefox http://127.0.0.1:9090 &
