That's the line I have in .config/openbox/autostart.sh so Recoll starts with my desktop and works in real time. It's fabulous. I save a lot of articles I read online and generate a bunch of crap myself. With Recoll always running, indexing, I can begin to use anything new within seconds. Like 1 or 2. That's cool.

Gnome, KDE, et al, have a pretty clickable dialogs so you can add programs to 'startup'. With OpenBox you just open a file and add an entry. Either way, with Recoll running real time you're tight&right.

If you're interested in Recoll because for some crazy reason you're not already running it, be sure to have a look here for some handy pre-install tips. Especially the 'helpers' section. You'll want to install a couple ancillary programs to get the most of Recoll.
