How can automate cgminer starting in screen on linuxcoin restart

[mackminer]

Hello,
I am regularly rebooting my rigs at the moment due to issues I'm running into while tweaking my cards for max performance.

I'm using cgminer and I would like if it could be automated to start rather than me having to do it manually. At the moment upon logon I have to start screen. Then export DISPLAY=:0 and then enter the cgminer folder and run the starting line with all arguments etc. It's getting annoying now and I would like something quicker.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Add this line to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:

Code:

@lxterminal --command=screen

and create .screenrc in the home directory:

Code:

startup_message off
screen -t MINER 0 sudo /path/to/your/cgminer and parameters

(you can drop the sudo, I don't remember why I put it there, but I must have had a reason ).

Excellent - I've just added that to my system. Won't be able to test for a few days but thanks!

There is no lxsession directory for ubuntu, so it does not work.
