i have installed startup editor which shows up in tivoweb plus.
this what it shows in there,
#!/bin/bash
# Call the Tivo Package Manager Startup Scripts
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.tpm
#!/bin/bash
/var/hack/fixup30.tcl
/path/to/tyhttpd 2000 4 >> /dev/null &i

i have this starup editor so i don't mess with rc.sysinit.author which can screw me up if i make mistake. i only added the last 3 lines here is this the correct way to do this. for example im using fixup3.0 tcl and i have added this line will this line call fixup3 everytime it boots. i don't know it its working or not please help thank you

# Call the Tivo Package Manager Startup Scripts

Search for 'TPM Sucks', Tivo Package Manager was an attempt at a proprietary RPM-like package manager that failed. I don't really know anyone using it... or, at least, I hope not.

I have this starup editor so i don't mess with rc.sysinit.author which can screw me up if i make mistake.

I 'mess' with .author almost daily. You don't need to worry about screwing something up. You won't end up in a rebooot loop with an error in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author. You might kill your networking or other enhanced hacks but your tivo should still boot.

thanks for reply but i do not understand my question was not about tpm i have no idea what that is, i just installed tivoweb plus and hackman and they must have installed it.
my quesiton was regarding the start up scritp editor, isn't this supose to make easy on you, i mean instad of editing rc.sysinit.author to start a program you can edit stuff in the startup editor, my quesiton is did i use the corrct way to start those programs that i have listed in there or not
