Can I autorun a program?

[deace_nuts 0]

I've got a door control that I'd like one computer to run on startup, is there anyway of doing this?

Ofcourse,

Edit /etc/rc.d -> enabled = {}  -> enabled = {"yourprogramhere"}

You could also create a file called /autorun.lua and write that stuff in there.

So if my program is named door.lua and it's located in /home, I would do...

 Edit /etc/rc.d -> enabled = {}  -> enabled = {"door.lua"}

Is that correct? If so it's not working, so I must have done something wrong.

The files need to be under /etc/rc.d to be runnable as a service. You may want to look at some services on here as examples on how to structure your program to work with rc.

Here's a good one.

Basically you need:

• A 'start' method
• A 'stop' method

These can run pretty much anything, but using events should work.

As for the door control thing, you may want to look at my Proximity Door Daemon, which allows for automatic doors using motion sensors. It's also extensible and very configurable.
