Auto login/auto launch app
Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2021 8:17 pm
Hi team,
I have an SBC4 and have installed mono, done the C# development work on the SBC itself via Monitor and keyboard. All is good, I can successfully do the whole mono Program.exe and everything works as expected.
Now I need this application to automatically run on reboot. I have used a cronjob @reboot to get this done and it appears to work but it seems to run behind the login prompt;
download/file.php?id=967&mode=view
My program captures keyboard input so the user is not able to interact with my application while the login prompt is showing.
Question, how can I have it so the SBC4 automatically logs in as root on reboot? I have tried editing the /etc/inittab file with every possible combination I can think of but can't seem to get it to bypass/auto login.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
