how can I resume a bash script after a reboot in a terminal window?
this has been driving me crazy all week, no matter what I try it just wont work.
I have written a script that installs several programs, half way through it requires the machine to be rebooted.
what I've been trying do do without success, is when the system restarts a terminal window opens and the script resumes.
I've googled this, and it seems other people have aslo tried and failed to acheive the desired result.
ok, I know it would be easy to just run the script without the terminal window (using cron @reboot or rc.local), but I really need the verbose output as the user must make 2 selections on the remaing installations.
So if anyone knows how to open a terminal and run a script after startup, could they please please let me know how to do it.
many thanks.
