autostart applications when openbox starts
Hi guys ..
I'm coding a little python script to manage autostart applications .. Really easy 
Someone for testing ? source : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/ob … -autostart
Howto :
* download script
* chmod
* copy to /usr/local/bin
wget http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/ob-autostart/ob-autostart
chmod a+x ob-autostart
sudo mv ob-autostart /usr/local/bin* Edit your ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh ( remove applications and add 'ob-autostart -d &' )
* run ob-autostart and manage your applications ..
Bye

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
Well I followed the procedure - but I had not modified my autostart.sh, so I just added the required line - and I tested it without any problem.

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
If you let everything in autostart it seems normal that it works no ?
To test it you should put in comments all the lines in autostart except the one for this application. But maybe I misunderstood something.

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
I think yes.
Since I did not want to loose anything in my setup, I made a backup AND did not erase anything.
Then I added more applications (Dillo, to begin with, with a delay) in order to test :
1- Do modifications apply after the pre-existing apps ?
2 - Does a modification cause any damage ?
I can then answer
1-Yes, even if (which is quite normal) Dillo, set with 10s sleep, will launch before Conky, for which I set a 30s sleep in the autostart, but after lxpanel, set to launch with a 5s delay.
2-No, my Autostart is not damaged. I may have not read the script aright, but it seems to me it is left untouched.
The next step is of course to erase much of my setup, and recreate it within OB-Autostart.

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
Ok, it's clear now.
Thanks for the feedback
Currently I'm still working on conky and openbox menu, but when I'm finish with the scripts (I'm learning) I will try this I think.

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
@ Nicky , Yogi :
OB-autostart do not modify autostart.sh .. It store configuration in this file ~/.config/ob-autostart/config
So You can do as Yogi explain ( very well )
Simply add ' ob-autostart -d & ' to autostart.sh and add an application ( for testing , like pcmanfm ) with ob-autostart.
If It works fine , you can remove other applications in your autostart.sh and manage them with ob-autostart
Bye

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
Hello ..
What do you think about change ob-autostart to OpenBox Autostart MAnager .. OBAMA
Hrm...thats like O Bama (Bama is short for Alabama, US State and Universty of Alabama is a popular college football team, at least here where I live )
I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
Nice one, but I would tend to cut the end of the O : CBAMA

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
Well I nearly emptied my autostart.sh, and populated CBAMA, with full success on restart.
I suggest this would be placed in the default Openbox menu.

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
I'm sorry I'm new etc.. and I'm being dense.
What additional functionality over the normal autostart.sh provided in openbox?

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
It is graphical, and if I well understand when you click on the ... button at the right of "command" it explore the file where the launchers of applications are, so it is easy to find in the list what you want to launch without knowing the command by heart.
Don't forget to still use autostart to launch this launch application

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
^I really hope this is a temporary situation with ADComp's site. (I can offer a copy of adeskbar.0.4.2-all.deb
here for the moment.)

Re: autostart applications when openbox starts
I also hope it is temporary, but it has been down months now.
And his last post here was in January.
