XDG Autostart
The XDG Autostart specification defines a method for autostarting ordinary desktop entries on desktop environment startup and removable medium mounting, by placing them in specific #Directories.
Prerequisites
You need to use either a desktop environment that supports it, or a dedicated implementation, like:
Directories
The Autostart directories in order of preference are:
- user-specific:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart
(~/.config/autostart
by default) - system-wide:
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart
(/etc/xdg/autostart
by default)
System-wide desktop entries can be overridden by user-specific entries with the same filename.
Tip: To disable a system-wide entry, create an overriding entry containing
Hidden=true
.For more details, read the specification.
