wattOS Talk / Automatic start of application
« on: January 30, 2018, 07:06:28 PM »
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the wattOS world, so you can treat me as a noob.
At our local church we have an old laptop that is to be used as a stage monitor for displaying song lyrics. I decided on wattOS to minimize the unnecessary resource consumption.
I try to configure wattOS so when it starts it brings up the default browser in full screen to a specific local address. So the singers only need to power on the laptop at the beginning of the session.
I found that the terminal command for that is
surf -F <web_address>
However, I was unable find a place to put it
I tried /etc/rc.local but it doesn't seem to work
I downloaded the Microwatt-R10 version. Reinstall or installation of any software shouldn't be a problem if necessary.
Can you guys please help with it? Thank you.
