Hi all,

I am using Java Desktop System under Solaris and I would JDS to launch a
defined program each time I log in. In which script should i add my
program path ?

Hi, the best way to define your PATH environment variable is by
sourcing the corresponding profile script in ~/.xinitrc.

For example you may put this line in your ~/.xinitrc:

. ~/.config/fish/profile

before exec gnome-session.

Or (if your profile script is a bash profile):
. ~/.profile

Note that in order to be able to *source* a profile script (defining
between the other things the PATH), the .xinitrc need to be written in
the same profile script language, for example it has to be a bash
script.

Not sure about how does JDS work though, also not sure that was the
question you was asking for, maybe you meant to ask instead "how can I
execute a certain script every time gnome starts?".

Ooops, you replied personally (for the future, it is a good netiquette
rule always to reply publicly, in this way more people can share the
eventual solution).

The question to the second question is: in my system (gnome 2.18),
look at System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Programs, or if
you're a command line bigot have a look at:
~/.config/autostart

when you can manually add/delete such scripts.

HTH, regards.
