How to activate bluetooth at startup??

[jasonxvii]

hi! i'm developing a program that lets my mobile phone connect and interact with my computer..
what I did is I inserted the location of my program in /etc/init.d/boot.local so that my program would run before entering my desktop...

I also included /etc/init.d/bluetooth start in boot.local..

My problem is, my mobile phone seems to find my computers bluetooth device, but it cant connect to it....but when i run my program in terminal, everything works perfectly...

what i think is, there is something i need to run or boot before my program so that I can connect via bluetooth...I just dont know what it is..correct me if im wrong..

Hope that someone can help me with my problem...

thanks!!

You may not have given things enough time to connect. Try putting your program in a later script. Maybe in the users .profile file or the KDE/gnome startup folder.

"bluetooth start" starts a thread the thread may have not had time to handshake with you phone before you run the script.

does your pc pair with your phone when you do rfcomm connect if it does then you gotta write a script that does the connecting automatically the connection has to be initiated by the pc (i'm not much of a script writer then like gogalthorp said you gotta put it into your kde/gnome startup folder
