How to find out the command to add program to session startup programs?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1390 / 1 Year ago, fri, march 10, 2023, 11:11:08

I'd like to add empathy to the list of programs to start up when starting an session, i looked at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup but I don't think this is adapted to 12.04 (see section "How to find the appropriate startup command")

So, how can i find out the command for a program to add to startup programs?

To find out the command for any program you should type this in the terminal-

whereis *application name*

For example,

If you want to find out the command to run Gedit the type in the terminal-

whereis gedit

and you will get an output like this-
gedit: /usr/bin/gedit /usr/lib/gedit /usr/bin/X11/gedit /usr/share/gedit /usr/share/man/man1/gedit.1.gz

out of that,the very first path you see-/usr/bin/gedit is the path to the executable file...Which should be added in the startup applications list.. :)

Hope it helps
