Ok, so I spent about a week farting around with my laptop (Toshiba Sat. 5205) and I *finally* got FnFx to work and I have control of my function keys, battery, etc.

Now, I'd *really* like to be able to set the fnfxd daemon to run on startup like all of the other services.

How would I do this? I'm using Fedora Core 1

Thanks!

hey.
i use debian. i think you would want to look at the equivalent of /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d (i think that's what RH uses.)

You can look for your rc.local file most likely and have it start from this file as well.

Hi,

I guess you want a script like the following. Copy/paste and simply save it as /etc/init.d/fnfx. Start the fnfx deamon by /etc/init.d/fnfx

Cheers,

#!/bin/bash
#
# fnfx This shell script takes care of starting/stopping Toshiba acpi key daemon fnfx

#
# processname: fnfxd
# config: /etc/fnfx/fnfxd.conf
#

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

prog="Toshiba fnfx"

start() {
# Start Toshiba ACPI Keys Daemon
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon /usr/local/sbin/fnfxd
touch /var/lock/subsys/fnfxd
echo
}

stop() {
# Stop service.
echo -n $"Shutting down $prog: "
killproc fnfxd
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/fnfxd
echo
}

# Check that fnfxd is up.
