First, thank you for the information. I appreciate the quick responses. I'm actually running in level 5. The script launches a couple of gtk based apps I developed for my company. I'll give the .xinitrc a try and see what happens. I'm glad someone knows the X configuration scheme... I've had a hard time figuring out what the various .x and .X files actaully do. Thanks again.

Agreed...
Which initialization file to use is dependent upon what is is you are
trying to launch.
Three come to mind: * .bash-profile * .xinitrc * .xsession

This may not be the best route if it's an X11 based program. Modifying the .bash_profile would mean that the demo would launch (or attempted to launch) every time you initiate a new {x,k,e}term or login in runlevel 3 (non-graphical).

If you're booting into the GUI env (init 5 - which is the default) then you can probably add this to the ~/.xinitrc file and get what you want.

All, I have a YDL 4.0.1 laptop that automatically logs a user in on startup. Does anyone know of a config file I can use to launch a set of scripts when that user logs in. The machine is slated to be a demo machine and thus I want the process to be as simple as possible. I have a top level script TOP_LEVEL.sh that I'd like to be run as soon as my default user logs in. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Jon
