Startup script after login
Hi,
I'm new to Linux world, and would like to know the way on running a shell script (inside is some file copy and command line ant) after login (like a batch file I normally put in Windows startup). I've tried to put it in /etc/rc.local, and apparently it's called before login. FYI, I'm using RHEL5.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Are you logging into the command line or a GUI. If its a GUI what desktop environment or window manager are you using?

GUI. It's X11 (I'm using what's coming with RedHat 5).

You can use Starup Applications of your desktop environment.

You could look in your GNOME preferences for an entry called "Sessions" and add commands to run your script in there.
