I'm running RHEL 4 (3.4.3-9.EL4). I've installed Synergy so that I can control my X Session with the keyboard and mouse attached to a neighboring machine. Problem is I can't get synergy to startup on boot. I've added the startup command to the rc.local file:

[root@pc-ny-43 etc]# cat rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/usr/bin/synergyc -f --daemon pc-ny-52


If I invoke rc.local after the machine boots, it runs the synergyc command successfully. However on boot alone, it does not.

Obviously I need the synergyc command to run at boot so that I can login to my X Session using my neighboring keyboard.

Thanks in advance...

Maybe you need to do some reading of the Synergy documentation???

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

Please review the Autostarting link under Documentation.

I tried that, the autostart script that they have there seems to be specific to another flavor of linux. It references an rc.common file which doesn't exist and the rest of the script generates syntax errors.
