How to execute a terminal command at boot

[chewy84]

What i want to do is get this custom screen resolution with xrandr to run at every boot so i don't have to enter it myself or copy and past it this is the code i want to run at every boot

cvt 800 600 60 && xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00"   38.25  800 832 912 1024  600 603 607 624 -hsync +vsync && xrandr --addmode TV1 800x600_60.00 && xrandr --output TV1 --mode 800x600_60.00

i don't really want to play around editing configure/files just a nice easy
script that will execute after or during every boot.

I think you mean every login, rather than every boot. X isn't running for most of boot-time, so the command will probably fail.

If that's the case, then we need to know your desktop environment to make any progress. Thanks!

Yeah at login would be better cheers for that.

I'm using ubuntu 12.04LTS

I'll assume the Unity environment, then.

In which case, press Alt-F2 then type:

gnome-session-properties

You should get a popup dialog with options for configuring startup options.
