Automatically execute a software without gui at boot
hi all,
this is my first post here...i hope that this is the correct section to write my question.
I have a distro linux without gui, only text mode.
So, it's possible run automatically a command or a program as "top" or "ping" and get the result on the main shell , after the boot and after username and password input ?
I don't want run the command or the software as a service (init.d/.....).
Thanks to all.
Regards
Emiliano

profile-manager
PROFILE-MANAGER(1) General Commands Manual PROFILE-MANAGER(1)
NAME
profile-manager - starts the gui for configuring the metadata used by desktop-profiles
SYNOPSIS
profile-manager
DESCRIPTION
The desktop profiles package needs metadata about the available profiles in order to decide when to activate which profiles. This metadata
is contained in the .listing files placed in the /etc/desktop-profiles directory. This convenience script will start a graphical interface
for configuring that metadata.
The gui is a kommander script, so you need to have the kommander package installed for the gui to work (the script will check if the neces-
sary prerequisites are present, and tell you what's missing if necessary).
OPTIONS
There are no options
FILES
/etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles
BUGS
The gui currently barks at profile metadata containing a single quote in the description.
