If I want a script to start with the system, i'd put in profile ? this is on a jaunty box. Its my webserver, i login via NX to fiddle. when i do this webcam starts logout webcam stops. motion is in starting programs.

while we're at it where does karmic, and jaunt store its EDITOR varible, i wish to chage the default editor.

My usual choice would be an init script to have a daemon start on boot, any variables like EDITOR should be set per-user, look in your home directory for the relevant config file

eg If you use bash as your shell

~/.bash_profile
