Auto open and arrange terminal and editor on login
I am hoping someone can tell me this can be done and how to do it.
Every time I log into linux I open three terminal windows and one gedit window. I arrange the terminals one atop the other on one side of the screen and the gedit window takes up the other half of the screen. I would like the desktop arrangement to come up automatically when I log in. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks |
Don't have a clear answer for you, but I think the best solution will depend on what desktop environment & window manager you are using.
I think some Desktop Environments also have options to restart applications that were open at the time of the last shutdown. For the terminal emulator windows you could put a section into your autostart script the opens the windows. I have never used it, but there seem to be a couple of useful options, which again might also depend on what terminal emulator you are using. E.g. this looks like something that might help you. |
There is an Autostart folder in the /home/user hidden .kde folder where you can put a script. Since you are using gedit, you probably aren't using kde. Take a look at the link below for info on Unity or Gnome, second post:
