Re: [PD] respawn PD with gui in Debian

Hey Bart,

Put the PD startup stuff in your ~/.xsession, and configure your display manager to use xsession. (eg chosee 'Xclient script' in GDM)

Hi,

I use PD-extended in Debian Lenny, this for a small media-installation. After the pc boots and logged into X, i would like pd (with gui) to start automatically. I made the script below and wanted to use that in /etc/inittab. It seems to start as root and does not show a gui either.

The script itself works perfectly ok when I run it myself. How can I configure inittab correctly so it runs as user instead of root, and shows the gui to?

My current inittab entry [to say: I don't know anything about inittab (blush) ] TY:23:respawn:/home/abortx/pd-daemon.sh

the script (pd-daemon.sh) #!/bin/sh RUNNING= export DISPLAY=:0.0 pd -open /home/abortx/pd/pdp-gem-bridge-3.pd & while true; do RUNNING=pidof pd if [ -z $RUNNING ]; then pd -open /home/abortx/pd/pdp-gem-bridge-3.pd & fi sleep 10 done

Thanks!

Bart
