Hi all,

We have ported linuc on IBM 405 ppc based board. we have a small query.
How can we directly run the application after switching-on the board
(without typing "root" at login prompt.

Thanks & Regards,

rakesh

There are several ways/things you can try:

1.- Start your application from one of the init scripts (search in
/etc/rc.d/... for the right spot)
2.- Replace /sbin/init with your application (dangerous, you'll have to know
what you are doing, and your application needs to start up all other things,
just like init.)
3.- Edit /etc/inittab to change the order in which things are started. For
example if you wanted to start your application in every runlevel, put
something like this into /etc/inittab:
my:12345:respawn:/bin/myapplication
This will keep your application always running, and restart it if it quits.
4.- replace /sbin/login with your app ;-)

There are probably many more options, but I hope this helps for a start.

Sincerely,
