Hi, all ...
sorry fot my english ...
I'm running a linux box ... and I don't want to let a user connected 24/24 ....
I can run Oneswarm from a console ... I can run it with #oneswarm &
But il I close the console (or the user log out = the same ...), OneSwarm dies ...
How can I do ?
Thanks ...

Hell !!!
Pétard de nom de di* !
I've tried many things .....
nohup
setsid
xvfb-run (trying to adapt --- Xvfb :1 && env DISPLAY=:1 OneSwarm --- to my Mandriva)
I have to admit I'm a looser !
I can't make 1S (even) to load on startup on my box
And I would like to run it as a specified user : I'm doomed !
how the 24/7 user do ? Do they keep alive their X session ?
On my linux box I run OneSwarm in standard X.
I control it mostly using web remote access, but occasionally I log in with nxserver screen sharing if I want to look at something in the classic GUI. I don't start OneSwarm automatically, but then if my machine reboots I need to log in a enter a pile of passwords anyway so it doesn't bother me that much.
If you want to run it from the command line you should be able to do it with Xvfb, if you have issues with OneSwarm getting killed when you log out you can start it using screen, that will keep it alive even after you log out.
In general if you want to start something at boot the easiest way is to start it with cron. On ubuntu you just add it to /etc/crontab with @reboot (remember to specify a username, so you don't run OneSwarm as root) I'm sure man crontab will tell you how to do it on mandriva.
I've done it !!!!
small script in /etc/init.d linked to rc5.d

surely bullshit for a pro ... but for me, the best I've ever done ! (ok, it's almost first one...)
Careful, I am on the impression that the headless setup doesn't automatically rescan for new files, it seems that this action is triggered by opening the web page. I'm off to file this as a bug.
