[ADMIN] start apps auto at KDE session (resolved)

[stanguy]

i would like to run automatically gkrellm. how can i do it ?

I wrote a small script (that is working, i tested it) that i placed in /etc/init.d/, i then created a symbolic link (ln -s) in /etc/rc5.d/ (5 -> mandrake, X session) and changed the rights (+x).

But it did not run when KDE starts ??? Why ?

do you want tit to run when any user logs in or just you ?

[stanguy]

just me...UID : seb GID : seb

[Talion]

have you tried running the script from .bashrc ( or which ever shell you use)
then it should run when you log in !

You can add a symlink in the ~./kde/Autostart directory to gtkrelm to get it to start automatically.

It works when calling the apps in my .bash_profile...

I did not tried adding a symbolic link in the .kde/Autostart/ directory yet...I will do later

Thanks you both for answering me so rapidly !
