Hi guys. I need to create a script which should run a program (amsn messenger) each time a specific user logs on to kde, but after hours of googling I am still not sure where to put it. :frowning: Please a little advice. I’m using suse 10.2. Thanks for help.

Hi,

For KDE, the autostart scripts go into ~/.autostart (/home/‘user’/.autostart)

Just type ~/.autostart into a konqueror window and it should come up. (Alternatively, you can click “Go → Autostart” in Konqueror anyway).

Hope this helps.

Thanks i-ghost, but I don’t have /home/‘user’/.autostart, should I create one? Thanks again.

I found the folder :slight_smile: It is in /home/‘user’/.kde/Autostart/, and it works, thanks i-ghost
