That is if you're logging in automatically to a virtual terminal and not using a window manager. Ant's talk of window managers has me confused.<br /><br /> Edit: Although Ant's approach of running it as a daemon will make sure it comes back up if it crashes, which adding it to /etc/profile won't. So it's a better solution.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 29 Jan 2016 09:32 by X3N0PH0N</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41672.66&return_msg=41672.64" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41672.66"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41672_67"></a><div class="message" id="message_41672_67"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">29 Jan 2016 09:36</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 29 Jan 2016 09:38"></span></span> <span class="message_count">67 of 101</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.67">41672.67</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.64#a41672_66" target="_self">41672.66</a></div> <div class="message_body"> You may not have used a window manager, I must admit I stopped reading a while back <span class="emoticon e_embarrassed" title=":$"><span class="e__">:$</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41672.67&return_msg=41672.64" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41672.67"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41672_68"></a><div class="message" id="message_41672_68"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Drew (X3N0PH0N)<span class="message_time">29 Jan 2016 09:38</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 29 Jan 2016 09:43"></span></span> <span class="message_count">68 of 101</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.68">41672.68</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.64#a41672_67" target="_self">41672.67</a></div> <div class="message_body"> ////////// <span class="emoticon e_shock" title=":O"><span class="e__">:O</span></span> //////////</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41672.68&return_msg=41672.64" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41672.68"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41672_69"></a><div class="message" id="message_41672_69"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">29 Jan 2016 09:44</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 29 Jan 2016 09:54"></span></span> <span class="message_count">69 of 101</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.69">41672.69</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.64#a41672_68" target="_self">41672.68</a></div> <div class="message_body"> One of my RPis has decided to stop working at 7:15 this morning.
