Writing recipe for changing /etc/profile

Writing recipe for changing /etc/profile

[Sathishkumar Duraisamy]

Hi all,

I have some doubts in launching my application while booting. That is,
once  my device is powered on,  should land in my application. I found
that by adding some scripts to /etc/profile and enabled auto login, it
does.

Is there a better way to do same? And if the current method is
sufficient, then how do I add patch to change /etc/profile file, or
which recipe gives this file so that I can the in my yocto layer.

Add your scripts to /etc/profile.d

There are a few examples in the source tree, e.g.
   meta/recipes-graphics/tslib/tslib_1.0.bb
