Debian/Ubuntu Desktop: Run terminal commands on startup
I use this to start Conky on boot. Modify Name
and Exec
to run almost any script on startup.
Create a file ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop
containing the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Conky
Exec=conky -d
Type=Application
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
This runs the command as you log into your desktop. For other options, look up rc.local
or crontab's @reboot
tag.
