SUMMARY{2}: GUI app at startup

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

I have received two different suggestions...

1> from Robert Fulwiler he says export DISPLAY=0.0.0.0 ?

2> from David Foster and Paul Teasdel both suggest using xvfb (Virtual Frame
Buffer)

     I chose the xvfb and it worked very well.

    XVFB : Virtual Frame Buffer (and man page)
        http://tmap.pmel.noaa.gov/home/ferret/FAQ/#xvfb
        http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/topics/linux/man-pages/man1/Xvfb.1.html#toc7

Thanks

     I have an application that I need to have run during boot-up... but while
it starts its processes, it launches a GUI window that is killing the whole
thing. Does anyone know how to redirect $DISPLAY so the application will start
but the gui will just be no place?

Any help will be appreciated, and I will summarize,
Scott Pitsley
