I have install slapt-update-notifier-0.4.1 in my VL 5.9 Light but it seem doesn't do anything. Does anyone know how it work and how to congifure it.

EDIT:

It seem the /etc/rc.d/rc.slapt-update-notifier did not auto start at boot time. The rc.slapt-update-notifier is executable. Do i need to put /usr/sbin/slapt-update-notifier to rc.local or can anyone teach me how to auto run the rc.slapt-update-notifier at boot time....

I am also getting no results out of my slapt-get-notifier, on any of the machines which I did a gui-install.  The machine I text installed works fine.

I will watch this thread along with you for an answer, but I'm curious did you install via gui or text install.  I will post on the RC4 development page if it looks like we have discovered a problem with the gui install.

I compile the package from source and planning to upload it to VL repo for testing. But before it work on my laptop I will not upload it first.

for 5.9 i would add rc.slapt-update-notifier to rc.local
it needs to be started after networking is up.

/etc/rc.d/rc.slapt-update-notifier start

/etc/rc.d/rc.slapt-update-notifier start

this is my rc.local but when i restart my system the slapt-update-notifier doesn't autostart. But if i run it manually as /etc/rc.d/rc.slapt-update-notifier start. the daemon show up in htop.

PS: ain't every script that have executable attribute in /etc/rc.d gonna be execute at boot time in Linux?

No only the executable scripts in /etc/rc.d called from rc.S, rc.M, and rc.local get started at boot.

I would add "ifconfig" above "/etc/rc.d/rc.slapt-update-notifier start" in your rc.local to see if the network is up at that time.

I did what you suggest but the slapt-update-notifier didn't start. I double check using htop it wasn't there...

[hata_ph]

I notice slapt-update-notifier is working in VL6-STD. May I know how you all manage to get it working?

[caitlyn]

In 6.0 it is installed and works by default.  I didn't have to do anything.

[hata_ph]

I try it in my VL5.9 Light using lxde as WM, but it doesn't work.....any advise?
