Starting aMule auto when computer starts
« on: July 04, 2004, 06:27:37 PM »
I'm using Linux SuSE 9.1
I was wondering if there is a way of starting aMule automatically when computer starts.
I was also wondering if it's possible for program to go to taskbar straightaway and soon as it starts.

Thanks

I run suse9.1 too and whenever I shut down my server while amule is running, KDE relauch it as I get back in, not iconized but in full screen.

Maybe you can try with a link into the $HOME/.autostart dir?

I'm quite a newbie here, but I solved this problem by using one of the autorestart script you can find as a "sticky" post in this forum.

Not only it can run amule, but it checks whether it crashes or hangs and in that case it restarts it, keeping it running all the time :baby: . If you want this script to run everytime an user logs in (in an X environment), just put it into the /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder.

In case you use Gnome or another GUI, I guess you can find a similar folder.

Don't know about the "minimize to tray" thing, I saw some options in amule preferences, but I experienced some crashes when minimizing, so I just lost interest, after all it's not an essential feature, at least for me.. ;)

Hope this can help... Bye
