(Sorry for the newlines...). I tried with the ~/.config/autostart and it does not launch at log in either. Tried mannualy to do: $ IFS== read var query <<< `cat .config/autostart/screenlogger.desktop | grep Exec` $query And works fine. Didn't find anything about ~/.autostart/.

| Sep 29, 2016 at 11:06 | comment | added | linuxdev2013 | if its desired to run at 'login' time put it in that users' .autostart folder on a *nix machine ~/.autostart/ OR ~/scripts and have something in the $(shell)rc calling that ~/scripts/foo.sh | |

Have you tried using su and becoming the user you want to be executing that script?

$HOME is a variable set for each single user... it is not global. What do you really want: to run as if the user x is logged or only to run from that user home? It's different... Ps> welcome (out) on SuperUser
