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
