Starting a program automatically when KDE starts

From MEPIS Documentation Wiki

To start a program or script automatically when a user logs in, add a link or script in ~/.kde/Autostart/ folder.

Make a link (using the file manager) by dragging an executable file to the folder and select "link here".

How to make a script:

• Edit a new file in a text editor (KWrite, Kate, Kedit, etc)
• Start the file with this line:

#!/bin/sh

• Add the commands desired after this line.
• Save the file.
• Make it executable: use file manager: right-click on file and select Properties-> Permissions tab -> select is executable and click OK.
• Or using konsole make it executable with:

chmod u+x filename
