Startup File

Hi all

On Knoppix 3.7, where/what file would I look for to edit Startup Items?

For instance, I dont want/need cups running or apache, etc. But I do want to add vncserver to the list...

Thanks

Hong

If its a GUI application that you want to start
Code:
ln -s </path/to/app> ~/.kde/Autostart/
If its a console
Code:
rc.local (most likely /etc/rc.d/rc.local).

unless you know exactly what your doing, you can venture in this path. Make sure you keep a backup of the file you change

Hi

Ok i thought I would try remove some tuff I dont need running at startup...

But in /etc/ I have rc0.d, rc1.d, etc etc...

Which do I edit?

I tried rc0.d first, do I just delete the shell scripts to the process I dont want? E.G I want to stop pure-ftpd running, so I delete the link to it, correct?

Thanks

Hong
