Running terminal commands automatically on logon

tenmiles · 12-09-2007, 10:13 AM

Every time I logon I run the command "synergyc 192.168.1.100" in the terminal and I was wondering how I would go about setting it up so that it would run on its own? I'm using FC6.

Thank you.

If you only want this command to run once, when you log in, I don't know how you could go about it, unfortunately.

However, if this command is able to be run everytime a new instance of bash (or whatever your primary shell is) is started, you can add "$(synergyc 192.168.1.100)" (without quotes) to your ~/.bashrc file.

If you're using gnome, you could go to System -> Sessions and try adding the command there.

For manual configuration, you may have a look here: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html

Does it have to run when you login or can it be run at system startup? If it can be run at startup, you can put the commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
