I'm starting to get the hang of this a little so I thought I would add a program to execute at login which I run every session!

I'm running:
RH8 w KDE
program is gkrellm

I added the following lines to my .bashrc file in my home directry!

#Run executables here
gkrellm

I logged off and logged back on and the only thing running was gkrellm?
No KDE menus or taskbar, I tried right and left clicking, nada, tried all the function keys, nada?

I finally hit CTRL/ALT/Backspace and the login screen came up.
I logged in as root deleted the lines I had added to my .bashrc.
Logged back in as regular user and all was fine again?

Where do I add programs I would automatically like to run at login?
Thx I'm searching the threads no but figured I'd put it out there!

add & to the end of the gkrellm line.

Thank You and I just finished searching the threads (I should have done that first) so I now know that the & puts the program in the backround and I'm not stuck in an active bash session or something to that effect!
I also found this thread helpful:

Wish I could get Mandrake 9.0 PowerPack soon to let the good times roll...

I guess you shouldn't let the forum auto-convert such long urls to hyperlinks.
