You could add any program by editing ~/.e16/e_config--0.0.snapshots and
add a new entry for a program. Because thats not very comfortable and
only could be done with e _not_ running (otherwise the changes will
be overwritten by e) there's a second solution.
Once I added
-----
NEW: run
NAME: run
CLASS: run
CMD: /home/phriedrich/.e16/run.sh
------
as the four first lines of the aboved named config file and created the
run.sh-script on the described place.
Now I can easily add new programs to autostart just by inserting a line.
From my run.sh:
-------
#! /bin/bash

xmodmap .xmodmap &
xscreensaver &
macosd -n &
Eterm --theme irssi --name=Irssi --title=Irssi -e irssi &
-------


Hope that helps you,
best regards,

Friedrich

Post Scriptum: Maybe we could have a file like
'~/.e16/e_config--0.0.autostart' in which we can easily add programs to
start without the loop way with calling a run.sh. Or maybe even better a
'~/.e16/menus/autostart' which also had the advance to be more intuitive
and could also be edited with the menu-editor.
Just an idea....

[e-users] Entrance and .xinitrc

Hi all, I'd like to start some programs with E16, using Entrance (latest CVS) as login manager. Well, I've tried .xinitrc lines but it seems Entrance ignores it. How can I start xscreensaver and engage for example with my E16 release? Cheers, -- Paulo Jorge Matos - pocm at sat inesc-id pt Software and Computer Eng.

With e16.8 I think this should do what you want: $ eesh set misc.session.cmd_init /home/phriedrich/.e16/run.sh Beware!
