I need suggestions for autostarting xscreensaver

[Cliff Fussell]

I've tried to make an executable file in ~/.kde/Autostart using the vim editor. I must be doing something wrong. This is the file: #!/bin/bash
xscreensaver &
When I restarted and did a ps af command it wasn't running. Could someone point me in the right direction?

did you chmod +x the script after you wrote it?

Might be simpler just to put a symlink to the xscreensaver executable in your ~/kde/Autostart - I'm pretty sure kde will start it 'in the background' and that's all your script was doing anyway

I got it to autostart by putting a file in the autostart directory. I had been trying to save it in the wrong place. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Thanks,
