to start XMMS on starting KDE

[rushtosri]

Hi!

I want to start my XMMS audio player as soon as i start my kde using startx. Can anyone tell me how to do it. This should be similar to starting any windows programs by creating its shortcut in startup folder on windows system. I want to know how to do the same on linux(Redhat 7.2) system.

Thankx in advance..
Shri.

All you have to do is create a link to the program that you want to start in the %HOME_DIRECTORY/.kde/Autostart folder.

For example...

ln -s /path_to/some_program /home/chris/.kde/Autostart/some_program

You can do it in the GUI by opening your file browser and selecting Go - Autostart from the Menu. This will open the /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder. You can right click and drag XMMS in here to create a symlink.
