Now i need to configure this app to start up together with OS and of course to connect automaticaly(automatical connection works, but after this software were manualy started).

What i have to do? In /etc/init.d there is no Telenor script...is it possible to run this script from desktop or from menu ??

I'm using Davis weather station and weewx software, and all meteo stats from my station goes online every 10 minutes... .due to possible power missing or something unpredictable that always can happening i need connection and computer to autostart when power is back to continue sending data ... everything other is working well.

Thanks in advance people!  :)

Thanks teejay, but i found the solution.  ;D

Here is what i've done. First i created desktop shortcut of this application from the menu, and after that i copied Telenor_internet file from /usr/share/applications to the /home/.config/autostart directory and it worked !!
