Hey i am using wine on Ubuntu .. i want to know is there any command line argument or switch so...i can run an exe at the linux startup. its just a single file..not an entire application. can i make it start when Ubuntu boots up. Just like we add apps to windows startup. the file runs smoothly in wine..all i want to do is add it to startup. if anyone knows how to do it..let me know. :o
Ok where in the startup. This is critical. If you want to start it up like a Linux service you will need it to operate perfectly using wineconsole not wine. Since unlike windows, linux services don't have direct access to graphical interface. There are ways around this but its messy. Also unlike windows it is preferred that services under Linux have there own user and restrictions for security reasons. Now if you want application starting when you login there is a different way to that.
I am guessing that he wants on login. If not then just ignore this. At your menu at the top: System->Preferences->Sessions. That will open a window with a tab selected that says Startup Programs. Click the Add button. Name it what you like, The command would be wine /path/to/your/program.exe. Add whatever comment you feel appropriate. That should do it, just restart X and it should load up. (Make sure after you add it that it is enabled.)
