Hi all

I have successfully installed and tested dropbox on xbmc to sync my thumbnails. But when booting to xbmc it does not autostart. i have created a sh with "/usr/bin/dropbox start"
if i start it from a terminal it works. I can also get it to work using the advanced launcher addon. but when i try to add it to /etc/xbmc/live.d/ as an executable it does not work I also tried adding it to /etc/rc.local with no joy any ideas why ?

Have you try to add it to the user .xinitrc file ?

no joy just to confirm i should be editing /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ?
i have tried
/home/xbmc/startdropbox.sh
. /home/xbmc/startdropbox.sh
. /usr/bin/dropbox
/usr/bin/dropbox start
I have also worked out that i only need to do dropbox start but still cannot auto start

problem solved by
crontab -e
then adding
@reboot /usr/bin/dropbox start

YAY!!!
