In any case the best is to put your code in a script and call the script in the good .profile
It might be better placed in the shells startup code, that is: ~/.kshrc or ~/.bashrc, depending on which shell thread-o/p is using. Unlike the .profile, which is run every time a user logs in, the rc-file is executed every time a shell instance is started. This will happen automatically whenever a terminal emulator, such as xterm, is started.
Is that literally what it said, and literally all it said?
Yes, that is.
Code:
./Savelog: cannot execute
Maybe I need to set environment variable? I don't know. I think first of all I should run the Script manually and then try to put it on start-up.
As I said I didn't have any .profile file, I create one manually on the root.

Thanks for your reply bakunin
But as I said the shell is sh shell not bash or ksh.
I condemn to use only and only sh shell!

In other words if you telnet , remsh or rlogin, the append in .profile is enough, if you get to remote via ssh, you will have to create if you have no file environment as I show you above.
By X means to correct .dtprofile to make it read .profile:
bottom of .dtprofile:
Code:
# # login screen, login and correct the error. The $HOME/.dt/startlog and
# # $HOME/.dt/errorlog files may be helpful in identifying errors.
# #
# ##########################################################################
#
# If $HOME/.profile (.login) has been edited as described above, uncomment
# the following line.
#
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true
ADDENDUM:
Just read your last question: exec here I use exec since when the command script ends, the forked shell exits, and you find yourself at your login prompt... which I suspect is not what you want.
exec will make the forked shell, the current shell that will at exit end the session... as you can see on my first code trace above

But as I said the shell is sh shell not bash or ksh.
You said you use "sh shell". This can mean one of two things: a POSIX shell or a Bourne Shell. If it is a POSIX shell you can set the variable "ENV" pointing to some startup file. This would be called every time a new shell starts. If it is a Bourne Shell, then you can use the startup option of the terminal: in case of "xterm" use the "-e" option to specify a program to be run at terminal startup.
when I run C:\cygwin\bin\run C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.exe it fires up a terminal by default. Can I eliminate that terminal and start the x server as a service silently and sits in my status bar just there? Thanks Jack (0 Replies)
