Hello, please excuse my english.

console login, any idea to make a script

Thanks in advance

In the home directory, create a script file called .profile with
execution permissions. It will be run each time you login.

From your question I don’t think you are giving us enough
information. “desktop” usually refers to Photon? If Photon
is coming up on your system and you don’t want it to, edit
your /etc/config/sysinit.# file and comment out the line
that has “ph” on it. Thereafter, assuming your sysinit
has “tinit” in it, you will get a login prompt on the
console.

Upon re-reading the subject and body of your message I’m
guessing that you want to start Photon without the window
manager and have everything start, Photon and your
applications, when you log in at the console? Could that be
right?

Well this is a little tricky, but this is how I’ve gone about
it. Once Photon is up on your system, capture “sin arg”
in a script. Now shut down Photon and repeat. You should now
be able to compare the two outputs and see what processes are
needed to run Photon. You can figure out the order to
start them by trial and error. You can eliminate
“pdm” the desktop manager, and “pwm” the window manager if you
wish. If you eliminate “pwm” be sure to have your programs
position themselves.
