autorun a script for for one user

f4u5t · 08-14-2015, 08:17 AM

I have a raspberry pi running debian and I have a small gui script I want to run on the attached touchscreen.
If i include it in /etc/profile, it is ran even when I ssh into it as a diff user.
What would be the best way for me to auto launch my script on the local dispaly but not interfere with my ssh sessions?
thanks

Greetings,

How about adding something like this to your individual user's ~/.bash_profile file:

Code:

if [ -z "$SSH_CLIENT" ] && [ -z "$SSH_TTY" ]; then
     # Call/Execute GUI script here
     
     fi

Then take it out of /etc/profile since ALL users will likely source that on every session startup.

HTH. Let us know.
