Tip - Auto Startup Of SSGWPE On Boot
There is an easy way to have the SSGWPE to start up automatically whenever Vasuntu is booted up.
From the desktop interface, click System->Preferences->Sessions. You are presented with a “Sessions” window. The first tab has “Startup Programs”. Click on “New” button to add a new startup program. In the window enter the following:
- Name: Safe Skype Gateway
- Command: gnome-terminal -x /usr/local/bin/ssgwpe/safe_skypegw.sh
Click the “OK” button.
Going back to the desktop interface, click on System->Administration->Login Window. Enter your root/admin password when prompted. You are now presented with a “Login Window Preferences” window.
Click on the “Security” tab. Check the field “Enable Automatic Login” and choose the user name that shall automatically login when the system boots. This is also the user running the SSGWPE.
When the above is done, and upon system reboots, SSGWPE shall start up automatically. It is important to note that though this comes handy, it also presents a security risk. There is a short window of time after start up where the auto login user can be compromised. So, do use with care.
