Session Scripts

E16 can automatically run user scripts or applications during Startup, Restart, and Shutdown. This facilitates the loading of system tray applets, rss readers, screen savers, and other daemons (e.g. dbus), and allows for cleanup of programs that don’t terminate properly when e16 quits (this is especially common with KDE applications in e16 and the arts daemon or dcop server keeps running).

The session script feature is controlled by the configuration keys (shown with default values):

misc.session.enable_script = 0
misc.session.script = $EROOT/scripts/session.sh

misc.session.enable_script is a boolean. When set to 1, e16 will execute the script in the misc.session.script key. By default, this feature is disabled. When enabled, it will do nothing until the home directory ($ECONFDIR — normally ~/.e16) is configured.

The default session.script is located in $EROOT/scripts/session.sh ($EROOT is normally /usr/share/e16 or /usr/local/share/e16). It will look for directories in the user’s $ECONFDIR/ (~/.e16/) called:

~/.e16/ ($ECONFDIR)
Init/
Start/
Stop/

and run any and/or all scripts or executables in each when e16 starts, restarts, and shuts down. If no scripts or executables are present, or if any of the directories Init, Start, and Stop do not exist, nothing will happen and e16 will start up as usual. So, in order to use session scripts, all the user has to do is to populate the Init, Start, and Stop directories with scripts, applications, or links to applications that should run during Startup, Restart, or when e16 is stopped.

The user may write a custom script and place it anywhere. Simply modify the config file by using:

$ eesh set misc.session.script myscript

and modify it (be sure to chmod +x the file otherwise it won’t run). The session script is called with one of three command parameters; init, start, and stop. Any custom script should have a code block similar to this in order to function properly in e16.

case "$1" in
init)
# do blah
# or do function init
start)
# do blah
# of do function start
stop)
# do blah
# or do function stop
esac

Automatic script running can be enabled/disabled in the Settings Dialog under "Session", or by setting misc.session.enable_script key to 1/0:

$ eesh set misc.session.enable_script 1/0

This process is very flexible since when used, the user can turn off individual scripts and applications by chmod -x or simply leave the startup directories empty or remove them.

fixed add ;; in each case

it still does not work on login. I tested all of the scripts on the cli this one "bin/e16.autostart.sh" does not fire off the e16autostart.sh

this script in ~/.e16/Start/e16autostart.sh works

Code:

 $.e16/Start/e16autostart.sh
