Blackbox --> auto startup bbtools?

[rasat]

Hi,

I am using Blackbox wm for a long time but I did not use any BB tools. I took a look on bbpager and bbmount and they are great.
How do I get the tools to auto startup when opening Blackbox?

I sent the same question to BB Tools website and got the following answer:

> Just add the tools to .xsession (if you are using graphical login like xdm,
> kdm or gdm) or .xinitrc if you are using startx to start x.
>my .xsession looks like:
>bbmail -w -s &
>bbkeys -i -w &

In Gentoo I don't find .xsession or .xinitrc.

yeah you have to make those files in your user's home directory. just open up a new file with nano and save it as .xinitrc or .xsession depending on whether you use startx or the kdm or gdm commands.

I am using kdm.

I created .xsession in my user directory with the following files, but blackbox doesn't load:

bbpager -w &
bbsmount -w &

To load Blackbox I copied the script from etc/X11/Sessions/blackbox, but the bbtools don't start.

/usr/bin/blackbox
bbpager -w &
bbsmount -w &

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

To have same startup for both root and user, I made the files in /etc/X11/Sessions/blackbox instead of using .xsession.
