How do I run a program from rc.local
I have:
su regularUser -c "cd /home/me/folding; ./FAH504-Linux.exe >/dev/null &"
Nothing happens. I see nothing in the logs. Is there a way to trace
this down?
Thanks,
I'm guessing that rc.local is being run in a shell, which once it is
closed, kills any child processes. You should probably look into the
nohup program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup might be useful). As
to where the nohup should be place, though, is a question I can't
answer. It might be placed before the `su` or maybe before the
`./FAH504-Linux.exe`. Someone else will need to help you with that
(maybe just try both...?).
