[Ubuntu-eg] How to do these stuff in Ubuntu

[Joey Hunt]

To answer your 3rd question about how to run an application on start up,
That is usualy dependant on which distribution you use.. assuming it's
+11.04 then it's simple just do the following:

   -

   Go to System > Preferences > Sessions (or Startup Applications)
   - Select the "Startup Programs" tab
   - Click add
   - Enter a name to call the application (any name will do)
   - In the "Startup command box," enter the command
   - Click OK (You should see your new command)
   - Click Close

Test by restarting or logging out and back in.

If you *no longer *want the application to start up when you logon:

   -

   Go to System > Preferences > Sessions
   - Select the "Startup Programs" tab
   - Select the application you want to remove
   - Click Remove
   - Click Close

*OR*
Un-check the box next to the name of the application
