How do I configure QNX to automaitically logon, start photon, and then start
my app after a boot?
Thanks
Kevin
I have never done this myself, but here are the steps that I would
try.
/usr/bin/ph is a simple shell script that starts photon.
You could rewrite or replace it with one that doesn’t
use phlogin or uses “phlogin -u username”
Note: Be careful how you edit this file, as mistakes in it
might make booting your system very difficult 
I would
recommend testing your script (under another name) from
the commandline before installing it.
Create a file called .phapps in your user’s home directory.
Any commands that you list there will be run whenever the
user enters Photon. I believe that the .phapps file has to
be executable (chmod a+x .phapps)

Whoops, a couple of errors in my last post.
The file is ~/.ph/phapps , not ~/.phapps
It is referenced in the /usr/bin/ph script, so it could
be anything that you want really.
Good luck.

Read up on how to write your own boot image. There are a couple of sample
build files in /boot/build.

Alternatively, you could meddle with the system files to customize eg.
/etc/rc.local, …
