Awesome need help!!

I installed Awesome 2.3,I edited awesomerc but can't autostart some programs.I have defined tags as

        tag 1:code { }
        tag 2:xterm { }
        tag 3:docs { }
        tag 4:media { }
        tag 5:ja { }
        tag 6:file { }
        tag 7:internet { }
        tag 8:control { layout = "tile"}

and in rules I have

rules
{
    rule {name = "mc"    tags="8:control"} 
    rule {name="firefox" tags="7:internet"}
}

With this nothing is happening,Awesome start but non program is open.....
My question is How to put some program in tag so that he open on login.

Re: Awesome need help!!

that will probably just make those programs open with those tags WHEN you open them.  I am unaware if awesome has its own autostart functionality but it's easy enough to do something like

sleep 3

firefox
...

chmod +x it and putting in your .xinitrc

...
startupscript &
...
exec awesome

much like you probably set your wallpaper or call a function to feed awesome-client
