Thanks all for your replies, but it is not working
I do not have a $HOME directory, and hence no Autostart. I have edited the /home/.initrc file and enclose the last few lines of the file showing my entry. Where am I going wrong?
How did you log in? If you logged in as root your $HOME is /root. If you logged in as <user> your $HOME is /home/<user> Just curious. Jerry

[Nov 24. 2001 21:19]: You can use the Autostart directory.
You can find it in $HOME/.kde2/Autostart
Just put your script in there (or a link to it) and it will run when your Xsession starts.
But that only works with KDE.
I have something like this in my .xinitrc:
sleep 1 && $HOME/bin/slit start & sleep 3 && xmms & exec blackbox
Which makes sure they get started after the windowmanager is up and running.
