how to Adding scripts in startup

[ramadashsuresh]

Hai

i want to know the method of adding a script to startup and it will run itself only when i login as a root

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

Add your script into root's .bash_profile.

[Alexander Chuzhoy]

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).

Regards,
Patrick

Actualy my script is based on GUI mode it will run only a GUI it couldn't run in tty

when i adding script to .bash_profile file it will reflect only a tty terminal. i want to run the script GUI mode when i log in as root

Hello,

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

I am login over gnome

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.
