 |
|
I'd like to know how to run a script when KDE is started.
To be precise, this is what I want to accomplish:
| Code: | renice -20 `pidof X`
renice -20 `pidof kwin`
renice -20 `pidof kicker` |
As you might know, this also requires root privileges.

create a script in ~/.kde/
Anything inside that directory is automatically run when that user logs into kde. |

Thanks 
I've created a script in ~/.kde/Autostart/ instead, it appears to be started once really everything is run. (also used sudo to run the script as root, and made sure normal users can't edit it..  )

| for everyone to run it you should put it in /usr/kde/x.x/share/autostart/ not in the home folder of a user .... |

There's another way to run scripts for a specific user.
Any script in $HOMEDIR/.kde/env/ is excecuted when the user log in.
I use it to run gpg-agent. |

one tip: it might be worth putting a "sleep" at the beginning of the script so that X, kwin, and kicker have enough time to start up before the script is run.
...also, don't you think -20 is a bit excessive? AFAIK, the scale doesn't go any lower than -19...

Hm, you should already have such a script in /usr/kde/3.3/env:
oliver@sam env $ ll /usr/kde/3.3/env
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 201 1. Jan 18:17 agent-startup.sh
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
#
# Customized agents startup file
#
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/ssh-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/ssh-agent -s)"
fi |
