hey all,
...relative newbie at the linux stuff so..
I'm trying to run a patch when the system boots (at the end of my boot cycle) so all I will have to do is plug in the system, turn it on and everything will boot..
I took a look at this thread: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2004-10/022984.html
and gave it a whirl with no luck on ubuntu... it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.
I have a patch in my home folder so "~/FOO.PATCH.pd" and my script is in my home folder "~/FOO_PATCH.sh"
if i type "sh ~/FOO_PATCH.sh" anywhere it boots pd, my libs, and my patch fine. BTW my pd launch tags:
pd -nogui -noaudio -lib zexy -lib maxlib -open ~/FOO_PATCH.pd
So I should just be able to reference the the "~/FOO_PATCH.sh" at the end of my booting and pd and the patch should load correct?
I search the internet as to where and how to do this but alas have failed!
Am I doing this correctly? I tried inserting a line like "sh ~/FOO_PATCH.sh" in rc.local with no luck. And I've tried a couple other things with no luck either...
Hopefully I was clear enough...
I if I get it to work I will do a little write up so that other newbies like me can do this...
cheers mark
