Startx auto start of programs (With Fluxbox)

jimdaworm · 12-03-2003, 08:32 AM

I am using Fluxbox as my GUI I recently installed Yahoo messenger and now everytime I start Fluxbox it starts messenger.

What file do I need to edit to stop this?? Its not a big thing but its annoying me!

Thanks
Adam

That's strange that messenger could do that. It probably put an entry in your ~/.xinitrc file.

Check the following links for info about starting flux, and starting programs automatically in flux.

Enjoy!

It's not that strange, actually it offers the option
during the installation ...

Cheers,

Thanks Cerbere for the tips! I am off to sort it out!!

and Tinks I installed it using the RPM for redhat... because I couldn´t find one that was for Slackware, changed it with RPM2TGZ and then UnTarred the file and coppied over all the files and ran ymessenger.... I don´t remember seening that startup option!

Anyway off to learn more about how things work and manually remove ymessenger from my startup!

Thanks all sorted now

No more Yahoo Messenger automatically loading and I reakon I might even be able to figure out how to load some other program at start up that I want to run
