There are several ways to accomplish this, depending on what you need. 1. If you want an X-Windows application to run when you log into X, one way is (in Gnome, anyway) to click on the Main Menu, select "Programs", "Settings", "Sessions", and "Session Properties and Startup Programs". Enter the command you would like in the dialog box. 2. If you don't need to pass any particular parameters (say you just want mozilla to run when you log in), you can just select the check box to save the session when you log out of X. 3. Use /etc/profile to run a script in /etc/profile.d whenever any user logs in. 4. Use ~/.profile to run command when one particular user logs in. 5. Use ~/.bashrc to run a command when a shell is started. Is one of these what you are looking for? -- Andrew Pasquale -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
