I know when I want to run a program on boot I add it to the file /etc/rc.local but my problem is the two program that I wish to use once run hog the terminal so the second one is not run. I need some way of running them in the background without them using up the default terminal. This is on a headless Debian machine. Here is my rc.local file:
Code:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
cd /home/tom/pbmpcd
python pbmpcd.py
mpdscribble
exit 0
Thanks in advance.
