Hi Joe,

If you want to have programs executed on system startup you can add them to
the /etc/rc.d/rc.local shell script. This is invoked fairly late in the
process. For example, that's where I start inetd.

If you want a shell instead of a login you can edit /etc/config/ttys and
replace /bin/login with /bin/sh. I've used this trick to start a high
priority shell on console 4, for example.

Hope this helps,
Keith Russell

Subject: automatic login, running of programs

I have been reading and trying to get my QNX Momentics machine to
automatically log into root and run programs (such as qconn) once it has
booted; I have been editing the /etc/system/sysinit file at the end,
changing the entry for /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (and also adding the file
/etc/system/config/nophoton and trying to load the login components
manually) and adding an entry for tinit to run the login command.  I do not
need phlogin or any photon running, simply a console for now.  Where can I
find a suitable snippet from sysinit that allows QNX Momentics to
automatically login and run a program through a console or shell (such as
qconn or any other program)?
Thank you very much for your help.
