Tip: Starting Applications Manager when Linux boots

You might be wondering, how to start Applications Manager when Linux boots (akin to starting Applications Manager as service in Windows).

Well, you have to make certain modifications. Follow the steps given below:

In Linux, when the machine boots, the following file is called

</etc/rc.local>

You can add the following entry in this file to start the Applications Manager when the machine boots.

su -c "nohup sh <APPMANAGER-INSTALLEDDIRECTORY>/AppManager6/startApplicationsManager.sh & " <User in which Applicatios manager is installed>

For example,

su -c "nohup sh /advent/Aug2/AppManager6/startApplicationsManager.sh &" susan

Whenever you restart the machine, Applications Manager will also start automatically.

Also, you have to add the following as first line of startApplicationsManager.sh file

cd <APPMANAGER-INSTALLEDDIRECTORY>/AppManager6/

For eg., cd /advent/Aug2/AppManager6/

Thanks,
