Hello all - first post of many to come...

I finally got my ftp server running well and I would like to have several programs startup automatically when I login to GNOME. How would I go about this? The list of programs are Direct Connect, Pure-ftpd, and GAIM

I also would like to know how to create a launcher that executes a command line script. It's probably simple, but I'm very much a newbie.

For example, this is what I have to type when I want the ftp server to start:

pure-ftpd -j -P 68.5.16.32 -p 65500:65535 -l puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb &

How would I create a shortcut on my desktop that does this for me???

cheers!

Try to set it as a schedule system task as:
cl: XXXXXX |at now = the job is run immediatelly

can u please explain in a little more detail what you're suggesting? I'm not understanding...

btw - looper isn't you're last name by chance?
