How do I run a command at start up on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
1
I need to start a command on startup. I want to run this command:
xgamma -gamma 0.70
I have used Startup Applications but it doesn't work. I have put the command in the Startup Applications:
18.04 autostart startup-applications

Create a shell script for the command. Create a new text file, say
set-xgamma.shsomewhere and add the following lines to the file:
#!/bin/bash
xgamma -gamma 0.70
and save the file.
- Make the script executable (refer to this).
- In Startup Applications, while editing the program, click Browse... next to the 'Command' textbox and select the
set-xgamma.shfile you just created.
