linux autostart question

[dragon]

can someone tell me how id get the program /home/tss/server_linux to startup when the system boots up

the thing is i want to run as the user TSS rather than root.

I'm using Gnome at the moment, so can't check how you'd do it KDE, but you should just be able to do this via Applications > preferences > more preferences > session > startup programs

sorry i ment to say its running on a webserver so i need to be able to set it up via the command line.

if i put it in .bash_login wouldnt that still requre the user to login?

what i want it to do is start server_linux (teamspeak) when the server is rebooted but i dont want teamspeak running as root.

hmm would adding it to the init scripts in the format

sudo -u tss /home/tss/server_linux

work?#

Yeah, in that case scrap those suggestions, cause you would need to log in for both of them to take effect.

As for the init script... I dunno. Sounds a reasonable enough idea to me. I guess you're gonna have to suck it and see.

Post back if it works, cause I'm curious now

added this line to rc.local

/usr/bin/sudo -u tss /home/tss/server_linux

Teamspeak server auto starts on a reboot and is running as the user tss

didn't want want is teamspeak server running with root access and the sudo command seems to have taken care of that little problem
