Launching program at startup


How do I make Yakuake run at start? Tried just adding 'yakuake' (which launches the program from a terminal) to rc.lokal, but it's not working ...

Thanks!

I'm confused you want this running in the background how a daemon would?
If you want something wierd like that yes you should look at rc scripts and how/when they get called by init.

Since I doubt thats what you want tho cause its dependant on kde->x. Have kde start yakuake( look in your kde control panel or w.e thats called; system conf? =S ) or toss and entry like you metnioned in your .x[initrc,session] found in your home dir to start it.

Not sure it be good idea to put that in /etc/rc.d/rc.local as then it will run as root...

I'd rather have it executed whilst launching your X session (the exact place where to put the command depend on the DE/WM you use)

This notwithstanding:
(1) did you give the full path to it in /etc/rc.local (/usr/bin/yakuake)?
(2) did you make /etc/rc.d/rc.local executable (otherwise it won't be sourced by /etc/rc.d/rc.M)?

Thanks - using the menu: Settings > Session and Startup was the way to go.
