Hi Carles,

Easy Q, you can just append the command in that particular user's profile /home/$user/.profile

Hi Carles,
You can edit users .profile file and add a command to it.

$HOME/.profile

You can put it in $HOME of the user and create .profile file and put the command to be executed.

-- $HOME/.profile ---

hostname
clear
echo "ok"

It will execute those commands. change to your command.

Dear Carles,

Deponds on the shell the account uses to login, you need to put your commands on the users .profile or .login or .dtprofile.

All the best.
