What do you mean with "script startup"?
If you turn off your PC, or it gets reset (power outage) when FAH is working, it should automatically restart after your OS loads up.

I using VPS setup FAH.
I want to install FAH without being asked "Automatic Startup FAH"
Ignore this step and the default after installation is selected "Automactic Startup FAH"

VPS=Virtual Private Server?

You launch the FAH linux installer and want the questions it asks to be answered automatically with default values?

I do it running a bash script which calls FAH installer echoing the default values e.g.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
echo \nyn\n | FahInstall
means call FahInstall and press keys for: enter(\n), yes(y), no(n), enter(\n)

I'm not sure why you are re-running the FAH installer. I ran it once and FAHClient starts up automatically without any prompts if my machine is restarted.
