    Solved: Running commands on startup?

    I've got Intrepid and can't figure out how to run commands on startup. I've searched online but nothing seems to work so I'm assuming that's for older versions of Ubuntu.

    Basically I want to run LAMPP and a command to kill pulseaudio.

    Any help appreciated

    You can make a simple bash script a add it it to System→Preferences→Session

    Example of scipt:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    killall pulseaudio &
    
    "command for lampp"

    seems like a convoluted way of doing things - letting pulse audio boot up and then shutting it down. why not just go to 'sessions' in control panel (assuming you're on gnome) and remove pulseaudio from your start-up programs, and add 'command for lampp' instead? no need for a script at all...
