I have the PC set up so it restarts when power is restored. But, now
the PC isn't able to log in automatically. I need this function
because I run a program (xastir) that connects via a radio and TNC
(terminal node controller) for amateur radio operators so that they
can be tracked using APRS on the internet. My station is one of
several thousand others throughout the world that ports the licensed
user to the internet. The program requires that I be logged on and it
be running to function.
Is it not possible to make it run as a standalone service, that doesn't
need you logged in? Services that do the sort of jobs that you've
described shouldn't run as a user.
