Automatic login to TTY1 on Ubuntu 10.10

Found a typo. Here's the correct one. I left out the "sh". Also, I'm not sure how to edit posts.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
su nathan -l -c "sh /home/nathan/main.sh"
exit 0

I can't seem to be able to connect to the server. I'm using the same java arguments as I usually do, and the command "free -m" indicates that about 650MB more than usual are being used, but it's still no use.

Thoughts?

I really would recommend running the server in a "screen" because:

- This will allow you to send commands to it later from outside
- It won't clog up the boot process and prevent you from seeing a login prompt
- It's just so much more flexible

In any case, are you seeing the server in "top"?

I thought I WAS running it in a screen. What would you change?

The last example line I gave included running it in "screen".
