Thanks, Claudius. This is primarily for KDE, but I would expect it to work for a console login as well. Does KDE try to run ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile? The reason I asked here is because I previously tried doing exactly what you suggest by putting a link in ~/.kde/Autostart to the script, but it doesn't appear to work. I don't appear to have ~/.bashrc nor ~/.profile. Perhaps more detail is required. I have a script named ~/scripts/start-socks-proxy.sh, containing: ------------------------------- #! /bin/bash ssh -CNfqD8080 t...@xxxx.org.uk ------------------------------- This works fine when invoking from a terminal, or when double-clicking in konqueror. As mentioned, I have a link to that script in ~/kde/autostart. Unfortunately it doesn't autostart. -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:t...@vanderhoff.org Ariège, France | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
