Hi, I would like to write some application on Nokia N900 with Maemo 5. My problem is that, I need to launch this application with turning on device. Do you know how can I add my application to autostart? Thanks for all reply and advice.

Hmm..., is there anything what I can do from application level? I mean that I want to add my aplication to autostart just with instal it on device.

If you wish you can deploy the file directly when installing the deb package since dpkg has root rights.
