    [SOLVED] run a script after KDE loads

    Hello All,

    I am trying to run a script after KDE runs, but I am not having any success.

    I did chmod the file thus:
    Code:
    chmod +x .filename
    I tried adding it to the System Settings => Startup and Shutdown => Add Script
    But that does not work.

    Any other thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Craigbert

    Unless it's something you don't want to share, can you post the script for review?

      Not a problem.

      Here is the script:

      Code:
      #!/bin/bash
      # Pop-up a dialog box showing output from signify
      zenity --info --title "Quote of the day" --text "$(signify)"
      I can run the script from the shell without any issues.
      Thanks,

      Craigbert

        Figured it out:
        Put the link to the script in "/home/user/.kde/Autostart" and that fixed it!
        Runs like a champ now!
        Thanks,
