That is a great tip. I will add that to my notes also.
That tells me I could add that in startup of the pi as cron job then instead of launching under the desktop.

If your running your RPi headless you don't need to launch the X
desktop.
I run a ratflector without having to launch the desktop. The ratflector
application will run from the console.
the syntax is d-rats_reflector -C -d
By not launching the desktop you save both memory and CPU resources.

So you want to run D-Rats on the Raspberry Pi and it have
automatically launch on power up. The GUI needs to launch every time
the Pi starts.
The build we are currently running is Raspbian "wheezy".
This URL will tell you how to install D-Rats on the Pi.
The executable files are stored under /usr/bin and are called:
d-rats > D-Rats communication program
d-rats_mapdownloader > download maps
d-rats_repeater > D-Rats repeater
Once the install is completed...
start LXTERMINAL from raspberry PI desktop
cd /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE
sudo leafpad autostart
You need to add the following statement at the end of the file and
save the file.
@d-rats_repeater
All you need to do is to logoff and next time time GUI launches the
D-Rats repeater will launch. You will have enable the repeater the 1st
time and set your callsign.
