Hi, I have installed xrdp via yum. I can start the service manually and it is working well but I want xrdp to run at boot

when I do: I get the message "error reading information on service xrdp.sh: Bad file descriptor"

Any ideas on how best to resolve this?
Thanks

chkcfg is only for init scripts. You will need to create a cron job to start it on boot.

Do this (may need to be root user): Create a file called apache-crontab and add this text to it:

@reboot /path/to/xrdp.sh

Finally do this: This will ensure it starts on reboot.

Thanks Bigfoot, I was following the instructions from here:
http://www.xrdp.org/index.php?option=co ... s&Itemid=7

Te path of xrdp is: /etc/init.d/xrdp, to run I have to ssh to the HDA and then: I will give your method a try, thanks again.

That's not what you indicated in your initial post. Since that is an init script, do this as root user:

Thanks Bigfoot, that last code worked fine.

I didn't mean to confuse, perhaps I should of mentioned the path in the original post. Sorry.
I meant to say, to run manually I do which works.

But when I try to run automatically at boot usingI get the error

I still don't understand why did not work and gave the error.

No problem. When enabling an init script to start on boot, you only do as I instructed in the previous post.

There is no .sh on the end of the init script name. There is no need to run the script as as that is telling it to run as root. The chkconfig will do that automatically, so following the guidance I posted will be sufficient.
