Simple question I think!?
 

How do I automaticly start a program when X starts up? Do I put in the run level 5 or does it go somewhere else?

it would be in usually in your .xinitrc script you can add it to, in your user's home directory.

.xinitrc
 

programs execute in the order they are placed in .xinitrc...

if you mean to just start up a program and continue going on with your buisiness, you need to set it up so that the program runs in the background...

exec <prog_name> {args} &


without that '&' .xinitrc would stop until the program ended or was killed (whichever happened first) my example...i use fluxbox so..

exec wmcpuload &
exec wmclockmon &
exec wmppp &
exec fluxbox

.xinitrc will execute everything, and when i quit/kill fluxbox they would all DIE!

...or somethin like that

Thanks guys!
