Writing a script? Autostart?

[jrbush82]

I need KDE to load xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" command on startup. How do I go about doing this? How would I write a script to execute so that I can put it in the Autostart directory? Is there a file to add this command to so that I can do this on startup?

Thanks,
Jason

just put xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" into a new file, save it under the autostart dir and make it executable.

well... I did that. All it does is pops up and asks what program do I want to open/execute it with?

I made it in kedit and just added that line to the file. Saved it as a file with no extention, moved it to my ~HOME/.kde/Autostart directory and made it executable. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Did you add

#!/bin/bash
or
#!/bin/sh

as the first line?
