Programs on startup???
 

hi , i want to know if there is any tool like Micro$oft's 'msconfig' in linux.
for example, i want GKrellM to start when i boot linux, so i won't need to type every time 'gkrellm' at the console or at Alt+F2.
thanks :)

Yeah just edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the command line in there then on boot it will be the last thing that is started before you log on.

sidey has the right idea, however for programs like GKrellm, you probably want those to start running when you login and/or run X, not when you boot up. For that, you may need to add it to your ~/.xinitrc file; search these forums and Google for more info on the subject, as this is a popular question.
