The GNOME session settings are inherently per-user. There is no way to set
it once and have it apply to all users. You have to set it for each user,
so setting the desired program is not a problem... except that this could
be a lot of work if there are a lot of users.
Another way to do this is to call a script from within each user's
~/.bash_profile. The script would check to see if it's running under X,
then call the app appropriately.
#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
gnome-terminal --title 'My Program' -x myprogram &
else
myprogram
fi
Ideally, you'd put the users into groups and have the script run the
correct app based on the user's group membership.
#!/bin/bash
for groupname in `grep $LOGNAME /etc/group | cut -f 1 -d :`
do
case $groupname in
sales)
appname=salesapp;;
production)
appname=prodapp;;
execs)
appname=execapp;;
esac
done
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
gnome-terminal -x $appname &
else
$appname
fi
The way I wrote this, if more than one group matches, the app will be
based on the last group to match. You can use the first match by adding an
'if' test before the 'case' statement:
do
if [ -z "$appname ]; then
case...
esac
fi
done
I don't know of a way to use the "most significant" match. You basically
have to manage group memberships in order for this to work.
