Mark,

In my TIVO unit, when I want to add programs to execute, I've had to put
"./" in front of the program name such as:

./var/index/tyindex

what happens if you change your startup line to:

	cd /home/knoppix/ecs
	echo x > 1.tmp
	./ecs.bin &             <---do you really need the ".bin" here?


Dunno if this has any bearing on your setup.

Your mileage may vary; I'm a complete linux novice with too little
experience to have any knowledge about such things at all..... ;}

Bill

I added these commands to /etc/profile, but I still get no console
window upon bootup and auto-login:
         cd /home/knoppix/ecs                                    (works)
         echo x > 1.tmp                                          (works)
         konsole & (a test - trying to get *anything* to come
up)        (nothing)
         konsole -e="ecs.bin" &                                  (nothing)
I know the command are being executed, as 1.tmp is being created.
If I enter the commands manually, they work.
Any ideas ?
To reiterate: All I want to do is to startup ECS in a console window
when Knoppix logs in the "knoppix" user. All my other login-init cmds
in /etc/profile work fine.
Thanks,

Mark Gilmore
