Is there a way to make the system login automatically to an account at startup and run some programs?
Moreover, is it posibble to make it only after selecting some option in GRUB?
note: I don't care about security in this case

for console:
look at you /etc/inittab
| Code: | # TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux

c10:2435:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin mixer tty10 linux
c11:2435:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin mpc tty11 linux

you need to emerge net-dialup/mingetty for this.
then you edit the ~/.bashrc of the user for autostarting apps
for the grub thing: i think you need to make different runlevels for this. however, i don´t know if or how this works.
for x:
gdm (gnome display manager) offers the ability to do this easily. i guess with a little bit hacking it is also possible with xdm
autostarting apps: ~/.xinitrc
hope this helps... |
