Teamviewer is a remote desktop application, it doesn't have to be this one, I'd be interested to know the following for any remote desktop application like VNC or RDP.
I added a "Startup script" to run Teamviewer automatically but it only runs when I log in.
Is there a way to run such a program before any log in, so that the login can be done remotely?
Many thanks!
Teamviewer version 8 (which just came out) has the option to run as daemon which makes it start automatically when Ubuntu is booting (see the 'Special note for our Linux users' on the Teamviewer site.
Normally, such programs are started through scripts in /etc/init.d/, to which links point from /etc/rcX.d/ directories. However, I bet that somewhere in Teamviewer manuals there is a description how to add a teamviewer service for good :)
