CDE Start script...

anurag4u · 11-30-2009, 05:38 AM

All,

I need to call one of my binaries as soon as I login in CDE (Common Desktop Environment) in Solaris 10.

I tried few places like .dtprofile, Xsession files etc..but I couldn't get my binary to execute.

Can anybody provide me a script, file or any other where I can call my binary.

Regards,
Anurag

.dtprofile is the correct place if you are really using CDE (and not JDS/Gnome).

it gives error
libxshare.so: open failed: no such file or directory.

Actually, my application uses Xlib calls and I guess all libraries are not loaded at the point of calling my binary.

Is there any other place where I can call my binary?

What is that libxshare library ? It isn't part of Solaris.

it seems to be one of my library which my binaries uses.

Then you binary is incorrectly built. It should be able to find its own dynamically linked libraries itself. You should have used the "-R path" linker option. As a workaround, you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
