Why want to launch urfkill when system boot ?

By default, urfkill daemon is designed for service DBus method call, it will be launched by DBus when there is any process that calls the DBus method provided by urfkill daemon.

But, in some situations, you may want to use urfkill daemon to respond the wifi function key to control killswitch states like the rfkill-input module in kernel. Actually, urfkill daemon can replace rfkill-input kernel module if you want. For the above use case, you will need to launch urfkill daemon when system boot, so, here are some different ways for your reference:

Launch urfkill by init.d

You can download the following urfkilldaemon file, it's a LSB compliant service control script :

• urfkilldaemon Put this file to /etc/init.d, then you can use your distro's System Services (Runlevel) control tool to enable/disable ufkill daemon like a system service.

Tested on openSUSE 11.3

Launch urfkill by startup desktop

Another way is to use startup desktop file to launch urfkill daemon when window environment (e.g. Gnome) startup. The following is a example :

Download ping-urfkilld then copy it to /usr/bin

• ping-urfkilld Download urfkill-startup.desktop then copy it to /usr/share/gnome/autostart :

• urfkill-startup.desktop When system boots and Gnome environment starts up, desktop file will send out DBus method call to request urfkill service, then DBus will launch urfkill daemon automatically.
