Simple script question for X

[StrungOut2326]

I’ve got quick one…

I’m running synergy between Windoze and RedHat. I start the client on the RedHat machine by manually entering in:

synergyc 192.168.0.5

Well I want it to kick on when I start my GUI instead of manually running it. I found that if you enter in a script in:

/home/nice/.kde/Autostart

The script will run when X starts, but when X is on I have an Emacs window up with my script contents? I know the script works because I have tried in from the path and given it the correct permissions. Here is my script file (mind you I’m very new at scripting)

#bin/bash
synergyc 192.168.0.5

Is this wrong anyone got any input?

Well, first off, the script doesn't even have to be that complex. Just make a file:

synergyc 192.168.0.5

set it executable, and stick it somewhere.

Now then, what I'd recommend is more of fiddling with ~/.xinitrc, because I know how that works. Basically, anything there will be executed after X starts up. So for you, stick the following there:

/path/to/sysenrgyc/script &
exec startkde

That'll start X, then run your script in the background, and boot up KDE. When you exit KDE, you'll return to the commandline.
