 |
|
Hi, I want to run (not as root, but as regular user) GNU/Screen with irssi in it while boot. How can I do that ?
First I have tried write file | Code: | | /etc/local.d/screen.start |
with this content
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
su frostyx -c 'screen -t irssi bash -c "irssi"'
|
Set executable flag
| Code: | $[FrostyX ~]-> sudo chmod +x /etc/local.d/screen.start
$[FrostyX ~]-> ls -l /etc/local.d/ |grep screen
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60 Oct 15 01:57 screen.start
|
Checked if service local is in default runlevel:
| Code: | $[FrostyX ~]-> sudo rc-update | grep local
local | default |
And reboot. But it didnt work. I have also tried
| Code: | | su frostyx -c 'echo test > somefile' |
but this file didnt create
So now I am confused if problem is in running the script or wrong use of screen or somewhere else.
Please, can u advise me please? |

FrostyX ...
Your screen session will require a tty (screen is a "terminal muliplexer"), when the script runs screen will exit as there is nothing for it to 'attatch' to. You may be able to start in detatched mode, 'screen -d -m' if I remember correctly, and reattatch once logged in.
Generally I'd say 'local.start' isn't for starting user processes, if you really need to log irc then an ircbot is probably a better option.

This doesn't work because 'somefile' has no 'path' ... and 'cwd' doesn't exist.
