Startup commands with zsh as default shell?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4334 / 3 Years ago, mon, may 17, 2021, 1:48:54

I'd like some commands to run a script at startup.

However, my default shell is zsh, so the traditional .bash files seems unwise. At the same time, I believe .zshrc is sourced at every shell invocation.

How can I run a command at startup when my default shell is zsh?

EDIT: To be clear, by "startup" I mean login.

You might try using Startup Applications.

Here is what you have to do, to automatically start the command unity-2d-shell on startup. unity-2d-shell is just an example, you can have your own .sh scripts. Just save your script somewhere and add under command (step 2 below).
