I have a shell script that I want to be run each time a user logs on. I use Ubuntu as the OS. The script should be run after user logon in ubuntu.

Thanks for your help

In Ubuntu, any script ending in .sh that's placed in /etc/profile.d/ will be run whenever a user logs in. That's what lines 4-11 of /etc/profile do.

Yes i have look at that, but i can't figure out where to put my shell script path so it should be run when user has logon to the computer. – Frozzare Oct 24 '09 at 23:12
all files in /etc/profile.d/ are executed automatically, you dont have to setup an specail script path (whatever this should be) – evildead Oct 25 '09 at 0:57

This isn't an answer, it's a comment. Please put it in the right place. – womble Oct 24 '09 at 23:05

That's not really a fair comment when he lacks the karma to actually comment. – Cian Oct 25 '09 at 10:51
