wine users - May 2009 - Is it possible to run an application automatically?

Hi,

I am pretty new in the wine world and maybe I am asking a stupid question, so
please have mercy.

I would like to run an application under wine directly, without waiting for the
prompt and without executing it manually there. Something like autostart - I
execute a Linux shell command that starts the wine and the needed application
directly. Is this possible?

My application dumps some plain text info on the stdout and opens a socket so I
can communicate with it remotely, no GUI needed. The ultimate goal is to run it
remotely (over ssh) and leave it in backgroud.

It seems that it works but I do not know how correct is this. This is the dump I
got from putty (no X-forwarding):

Thank you in advance!

Kindest regards

Just wrap the command in a #! /bin/sh script (make executable), put it in the
init.d directory, make a symbolic link to it at whatever runlevel (rc#.d)
directory on the machine and view the README in the /etc/rc#.d directory for the
naming convention, at least there is in Ubu.  As far as what the Unsupported
IOCTL is (or if it's causing a major problem) you'd have to do some
Googling. :^)
