ExacqVision Client Auto-start on Linux-based Systems

Every ExacqVision server is preconfigured to automatically start the ExacqVision Client software after system startup. To disable this feature, run the following commands in a Terminal console:

sudo mv /home/user/.config/autostart/evc.desktop /home/user/.config/autostart/evc.bak<br>
sudo mv /home/admin/.config/autostart/evc.desktop /home/admin/.config/autostart/evc.bak

<br>

To reverse this procedure, run the following commands:

sudo mv /home/user/.config/autostart/evc.bak /home/user/.config/autostart/evc.desktop<br>
sudo mv /home/admin/.config/autostart/evc.bak /home/admin/.config/autostart/evc.desktop

<br>

To configure ExacqVision Client to automatically start on third-party Linux-based ExacqVision systems, complete the following steps:

  1. Run Terminal.
  2. Type sudo gedit
  3. Enter the admin password.
  4. Cut and paste the following into the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=exacqVision Client
Comment=Load exacqVision Client
Exec=/usr/local/exacq/client/edvrclient
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
GenericName=

  1. Save the file as exacqVision edvrClient.desktop.
  2. Navigate to File System by typing etc/xdg/autostart/
  3. Click Save.

NOTE: To automatically start a second instance of ExacqVision Client, create a copy of the file and name it exacqVision edvrClient2.desktop. Repeat as desired to automatically start additional client instances, incrementing the number in the filename each time.

  1. Restart the system.
