shell script

[hari7673]

Can anyone please tell me how to execute a shell script at the start up of desktop.
I mean what commands are to be included in the shell script so as to get it executed without the user interference.
thanks in advance

You didn't tell us what version you are using, so I'll assume you are using Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10. Open a terminal and type the following commands:


cd /etc/xdg/autostart/
sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' *.desktop

then in the same terminal type:


gnome-session-properties

you can then add your script to the start-up applications menu.

I really like the Unix Toolbox. It has a lot of command examples, not the most detailed explanations as its intended as a pocket reference, but you could peruse it, and ask Google or the Ubuntu Forums any specific questions you have about new commands you're learning.

Obviously you'd want to be looking at Linux commands. (not the FreeBSD ones, etc)
