Re: Auto running rox -S at bootup

While I don't use "rox -S", I do use "rox -p" to start a pinboard. The
place to put the command would probably be ~/.xinitrc or
~/.xsessionOne system I ran used the first method, but my current
system uses the second method.You also might want to check out the
contents of "startx", but I'm assuming that this is the command used
to start the desktop.Cheers,Nomer
P.S. I'm new to using mailing lists (I'm more into web forums.) so I'm
not sure how to format my post.

booted up! Nor can I find all my notes.

What is the simplest way to do this? I had thought that adding "rox
-S" to
the etc/rc.local file might do the job. But that doesn't work on a
Ubuntu
install I tried this morning. I'm fairly sure that adding a file like
this
did work OK for the systems that I have doing this. but I can't recall
the
details and haven't yet found the file (or my old notes).

I'll keep experimenting, but would welcome an explanation.

FWIW I plan to run Xubuntu (or maybe Mint or Crunchbang). And I prefer
to
have one Xfce panel at the top of the screen with the rox panel at the
bottom.

Slainte,

Jim
