Add your script into root's .bash_profile.

Yep,the file is /root/.bash_profile or /root/.bashrc (if /root/.bash_profile
executes .bashrc)

Hello,

watch out: ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc will be used in different ways. The ~/.bash_profile will be read by a login shell, the ~/.bashrc only by an interactive shell. When you login, the ~/.bash_profile will be read. When you start a new shell with "sh" oder "bash", the ~/.bashrc will be read. Some distributions read both files in any way (openSUSE for example).

Patrick

Hello,

you mean a login over xdm or kdm? If you're running KDE, you can try to put you script in ~/.kde/Autostart.

You can run gnome-session-properties and add your script to the list under the "Startup Programs" tab. Use the complete path to it. It will be run each time that user logs in. You should "chmod +x" your
script and make it start with a "#!/bin/bash" line so that it can be run like an executable.
