how can make slinger automatically run

GENERAL Help
1

My platform is x86+ QNX6.2.1

for each time I want to start
slinger

I type in terminal as follows:
export HTTPD_ROOT_DIR=/usr/webserver/httpd
export HTTPD_ROOT_DOC=index.shtml
export HTTPD_SCRIPTALIAS=/usr/webserver/cgi
slinger -e -s &
ds &

Is any other method i only need type them in a script or file(like profile)

then they run automatically at time the computer is booting.

Thank you :slight_smile:

to launch an application automatically at startup, you can put the appropriate lines into your ‘rc.local’ file.
the exact path/filename is ‘/etc/rc.d/rc.local’, you can create or edit (if it already exists) it with qnx’s own ped editor (do not use a windows based text editor), and put your lines in.
if you had to create the ‘rc.local’ file out of blank, make sure you do a ‘chmod a+x’ on it afterwards.
good luck, HELGE

/usr/sh

Start Slinger

export HTTPD_ROOT_DIR=/usr/webserver/httpd
export HTTPD_ROOT_DOC=index.shtml
export HTTPD_SCRIPTALIAS=/usr/webserver/cgi
/usr/sbin/slinger -e -s &

Start Ds

/usr/sbin/ ds &

make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.local is execuble:

chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.local
or
chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

the first line should be

#!/bin/sh
