[vdr] Re: autostart for VDR

["domolink morocco" <domolink@iam.net.ma>]

Hi again Sschmidt,  Thanx for the answer ... just to be a lil more accurate

I have VDR working '' a la perfection''  everything.conf   is okay

but

I read in a thread that I should demonize VDR to have it running without
having to log myself

the thing is that I want vdr to start automatically without having to pass
trough log+passW

So If I understand u well : I should do:
-------------------------
type:                       ''cd /etc ''
type :                      ''edit rc.local''
in rc.local  type :   ''cd /usr/local/src/VDR; ./runvdr &''
then type :             ''open -c2 runvdr''

Again to be accurate , this VDR will run as on a stand alone basis ... no
login to be done
even if I would like to be able to navigate through the OSD from the PC
keyboard and soon I hope with the  remote control

Thank u again for u r patience
