general/other Is it possible to keep WINE always loaded?

[siealex]

Starting up WINE takes a lot of time even on relatively modern machines. When one WINE app is already running, other ones start up instantaneously. However, several seconds after ALL wine apps are closed, WINE itself closes as well and the next startup is again painfully slow. Is it possible to keep WINE running in background continuously?

Why not keep one small app open permanently?

Yes, running wineserver -p 3600 works fine, but it is still inconvenient: this command should be run from a console after every reboot. IS it possible to make this setting permanent?

That may depend on your desktop environment like running it from a $SHELL, ~/.xinitrc (if you've been already using it and not a display manager) and with cron(8). I guess running the server doesn't require root privileges?
