Easy CDE / X11 question 2

[TSch]

Hi folks,

we're using CDE on our machine for graphical applications.

Now here are some questions about that:

1) How can we automatically start certain application at CDE login / startup ?

2) How can we use .profile settings from ascii mode in dtterm on CDE ? Does this have something to do with dtprofile? What's the trick? Just uncommenting didn't work...

Thanks in advance !

Regards
Thomas

Not sure this helps you or not? Good luck


If you need an application to start when you log in, you can create a file in $HOME/.dt/sessions called sessionetc. In this file, type the command you would like to execute. Type this command just as you would when executing the command from a dtterm or xterm.

Example:

If you want to start Netscape when you log in and it does not start through your home session, you can create the sessionetc file and put in the following line:

/usr/bin/netscape

-------------------------------


Make CDE read your .profile.

Uncomment DTSOURCEPROFILE = TRUE in .dtprofile, or /usr/dt/config/sys.dtprofile
for global.
Ensure that all dtterm/aixterms source the .profile. Using your preferred editor, open /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.resources and add the following line:
*loginShell: true
Log out.
Log in.
Invoke dtterm from front panel.
To have your kshrc sourced, insert the following line in .profile.
export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc
