shell scripting
 
Could any one please suggest me on which boot level or /etc/rc.x folder should I include my shell script so that it runs automatically immediately after login or just before the system prompts for login in Ubuntu LTS 12.04

Thanks

/etc/rc2.d

user specific scripts should be put into ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile, not into /etc/rc2.d, see man bash and invocation. Please specify what do you want to achieve

I just want t start the xwindows GUI automatically when the system boots up. I am working on an embedded board running on a linux kernel based on ubuntu 12.04

you should install a display manager (like gdm3 or lightdm), that will be put into /etc/rcX.d

This is helpful for understanding bash startup scripts: http://lfs.mirrors.poorlymade.org/bl...s/profile.html and the order they run in.

There're lot of ways to autostart scripts. Read this wiki page too for understanding.
