Running Python Script in UBUNTU Session Manager

warnetgm · 09-08-2005, 05:53 AM

Hi,
I want my python script run everytime login.
In WinXP I've done this simply by placing shortcut of my program into StartUp Folder
In Ubuntu Linux, I tried using session manager in Startup tab adding :

Code:

python /home/user/program.py

Well it being loaded after I tested to logoff and login, but unfortunately the status is "TRASH" icon which I've read in manual mean not started in current session.

So how to make my python script executed every login using session manager ?

Please Help,
Thank You

Some non-interactive or launch environments don't connect all the open output streams that some programs (like python) demand. If that's the problem, you can satisfy such programs, by connecting the error output stderr (stream 2) to the output stdout (stream 1), and redirecting them both together to /dev/null.

python /home/user/program.py > /dev/null 2>&1

Now, python can freely and happily write its error messages into the endless void that is /dev/null.
