I am trying to setup a (very) simple startup script on a centos 6.4 computer and it kind of failed.... Here are the details :
As said just above the computer setup is running a CentOS 6.4 x64, on this computer a vncserver is automatically started (by a chkconfig vncserver on), i use this vncserver to remotely access the computer and to run ktorrent too.
This setup worked very well for the last 3 years (upon different Fedora based distros).
I have to use rtorrent for some private tracker, i then would like to make it (rtorrent) startup automaticallyjust like ktorrent.
I wrote a little piece of script to achieve what i thought to be a simple and quick task, BUT, it doesn't work.
I created a new user (called rtorrent_user) to run rtorrent app, i also setup a sudo to allow the vncserver user to run rtorrent app as rtorrent_user.
When i launch the script from a konsole everything works, but when i setup the script for an automatic startup (symlinking manually or using the CentOS GUI) the script ran but no konsole+rtorrent appears...
If you have an idea ???
Here is the script :
The wall command allow me to ensure the script was really launched at startp, and it did but nothing happened after....
