Sorry you I don't use SuSe to answer more specifically.

what can i do in order to start VI editor automaticaly when system boots fresh

i need general procedure to start any application when it is new

When I first read your question, I took your comment "system boot" literally. But now I don't think you're really talking about "upon boot." Rather, I think you want the action to occur when you log in.

(Even if you automatically log-in when you start the computer and you're the only user that this system ever has, there is a distinction between the two points in time.)

I don't know if you're using KDE or Gnome or whatever, but all of these systems have some kind of directory that they look through when you first log-in. Like the AutoRun directories in Windows. That's probably the best way to get what you're looking for.

There are other files used at different times ... .bashrc, .Xinitrc ...

just be specific please what can i do if i want to start Vi aoutomatically
.bashrc and other files probabley do sth when we login like if we write there
echo hi
it will be shown as we login
but i dont want that
i want when my computer starts vi editor automatically opens
