I have an app I want to start up automatically every time the PC is booted into KDE. I added a command to my .bashrc file in my local directory, and the application starts up, but then it keeps opening again and again and again. Is .bashrc the wrong place to enter this command? --------------------------- Eric Carbone MOR Printing, Inc. (954) 377-1197 x110 FAX: (954) 377-1198 www.morprinting.com

For which purpose the nice people at KDE provide us with... the "Autostart Folder"... ;) Look in .kde2/ in your homedir... And check this out: http://www.kde.org/documentation/userguide/all-about-your-desktop.html#THE-A... (look out, the link will probably wrap)

Hm. Usually .bashrc only comes into play when you log in... What app is it?

To get it to start when you log in to kde, I'd say yes. hth Jon
