I am writing an application in which I have a server (in the form of an exe) which should start as soon as device boots up. Then the aaplication can access that server. How do i write the iby file for that. This iby file gets included in the .oby file which serve as the input to the suomirombuild command.

for general console based application, which will be using the services of the server, I have to invoke invoke it through eshell. the iby file which I have written is :

file = \epoc32\suomirom\rom\include\application.exe Sys\bin\application.exe
file = \epoc32\suomirom\rom\include\server.exe Sys\bin\server.exe.

I have included this iby in uiq.oby

But here I guess server doesn't get invoked at the boot up time, because while trying to execute the application.exe from the console I get the error as
panic : KERN:EXEC 0

Please help..

Re: writing .iby files for app to start at device boot up time

Neither iby files nor oby files are not related to booting up an application at start time.
I think Symbian does not provide a public API for booting up at start up. It should provide that API for their published partners or how do they call that but it's not available for everyone. Don't think this has changed recently. Anyway iby or oby are absolutely not related to booting up.
