try to put the script in $HOME/.xinitrc or $HOME/.Xclients. Look the X startup scripts and you'll find that it looks first for .xinitrc in your home dir and then looks for .Xclients. You can use either of them but not both. Make sure the file is executable. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Lars Nordin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [expert] How to run script at X-login - xsession doesn't work Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 09:13:22 -0500 Earlier while running v7.1, I tried configuring both .xsession and Xsession to run commands when I login to my system (after logging in via KDM) like the .profile, .bash_profile and .bashrc scripts do, but neither one worked. I worked around it by putting a shell script in $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/; I would have preferred that my script would have run earlier but this was acceptable. Now in v7.2, even this doesn't work, and I've even tried moving my script to $HOME/.kde/Autostart/ and it still doesn't work. I've read before that the standard X-windows method is using $HOME/.xsession or $HOME/Xsession - is there some security set up that I'm missing? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
