[SOLVED] run at start

[skottyrg]

hi,
I would like to know if there is anyway of running a command automatically each time i start the sistem, and also if there is any way of running a command without using the terminal (anything similar to "run" in the windows start menu).
The reason is that i would like alltray to automatically start thunderbird minimized in the tray when i log in (run alltray thunderbird) and also i like to run some other programs minimized to tray, and i would like to do it without having to open alltrays gui nor having to have a terminal running until i want to stop unsing the program.

thanks in advance.

You can add programs to startup in Startup Applications under Preferences in the menu. Press Alt+F2 for a run box similar to windows.

Also, FYI, if you use an ampersand (&) after the command in terminal, it will send it to the background - so you can now close that terminal window without the closing the program you started with it. ie:

Code: Select all

thunderbird &
