Ich möchte das nach einem Start oder Restaurant ein terminal Fenster öffnet und nacheinander 3 Kommandos ausgeführt werden

crontab -e
@reboot /usr/sbin/openvpn......

Welcome to LQ Bennemann. This is an english only forum. I'm sure someone can translate your intro but you will need to use english for the future.

Open terminal at startup and execute commands
I want a terminal window to open after a start or restaurant and 3 commands to be executed one after the other

crontab -e
@reboot / usr / sbin / openvpn ......

Or
https://www.raspberrypi.org/document...age/systemd.md

Didn't work either

What and how do I have to do there?
Kind regards

There are several ways to start a terminal automatically after logging in. Perhaps the easiest is to put the three commands you wish to run into a shell script. Then make a .desktop file to launch that script in the terminal. See the -x or -e option for your terminal utility. Then once that works, put it in the directory ~/.config/autostart/ and log out and back in again.

Which distro is this for? There are some trivial differences between the default terminal utilities in the different distros, but although trivial there are more advantages to some than others.

i have a raspberry pi Due to the ipv6 line, i have to access ipv4 via ovpn Thank you

Thank you

Ok, then if you have the default distro, it is Raspberry Pi OS and that has xterm. That info will come in handy during the second step. The first step is making a shell script.

How familiar are you with shell scripts?

Code:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

command 1
command 2
. . .
command n

exit 0

That is the first step, if you wish to automatically run multiple commands. Then once the script is working you can look at making the .desktop file.

Yesterday I dealt with linux for the first time because I need the raspberry for an online game and after every restart I have to manually enter everything into the terminal.
try to read everything in google

Yes, each line you enter into the terminal manually can be saved in a file as script. Then once the script is made, it can be turned into a clickable icon. Once that happens it can made to run when you login even if the login is automatic like it often is on the Raspberry Pi.

The link in my previous post goes to a tutorial in English and here is another shell script tutorial. My German language skills are weak so I am not able to find a corresponding page in German.

probably you do not need a terminal, just a shell script.

What must be written in the shell script?

Exec=lxterminal -e /usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon -- ???

Write the commands that you would have entered in the terminal in the file you will make into the shell script. For the details of how to then turn that into a script, see the link posted by shruggy in #11 above and the template in #4 above.

Yes, step 1 is to enter the commands in a shell script.
Make it executable (chmod 755 /path/to/scriptname) then you can directly run it.
Test it.
The last step is to make the crontab entry (crontab -e)
@reboot /path/to/scriptname
