@reboot chron success in Puppy? (solved)

Post by theroar84 »

I am trying to run a script 60 seconds after reboot with chron.
I have a script, ium.sh that launches fine if I just click it.

If I add it to chron with the @reboot it is not launching though.

The script simply uses xdotool to click the desktop icon after the system has been powered up for 60 seconds. (sleep 60 in the ium.sh command).
There is a sleep command so the sys has time to settle before the click.

I used to have chromium launch via the autostart, but now that I have chromium installed as a SFS, it was not available for autostart. (error messages...)

All running with Fossa64, EXT 4, frugal install.

Thanks again for all the assistance.

@theroar84 - could possibly put command at end of /usr/sbin/delayedrun
