Add the .sh file to /etc/profile.d as root.

generally, this location is for setting environment variables, not random commands..
putting that command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local is more conventional
or
creating a .desktop file and putting it in ~/.config/autostart (or /etc/xdg/autostart) like this:
redshift.desktop:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=redshift
Exec=redshift -P -O 3000
Exec=/path/to/the/script.sh
or
add to the APPEND line of /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg : guiexec=reshift~-P~-O~3000 (~ replaces spaces) or guiexec=/path/to/the/script.sh

I learned something else about Linux. Even though once I had to tread around "/etc/rc.d" looking how to turn "init 3" into "init 4" after I installed Slackware 32-bit and created a regular user. :)ncmprhnsbl wrote: ↑06 Dec 2022, 01:03generally, this location is for setting environment variables, not random commands..

Hi ncmp... and ED_P
Now I've learned two things at once
"desktop file" and "autostart"
That means I have to check the forum every day.
But where do I have to save the desktop file
/home/guest/.config/autostart
or /etc/xdg/autostart
Both: autostart, what is the difference, what is xdg ?

/home/guest/.config/autostart starts for guest user only, /etc/xdg/autostart starts for all users (when they login to X)
xdg is an acronym for "X (or cross) desktop group" , which is a freedesktop.org creation that handles/standardizes various functions across desktop environments, like for example: autostart, config file locations, standard desktop folders...

"Script.sh" file at startup
Two possibilities:
a) creating a .desktop file "Script.sh" and putting it in ~/.config/autostart
or
b) Cheatcode: guiexec=/usr/bin/Script.sh
What is better? What is recommended?

when you use a rootcopy/ folder then putting the script into rootcopy/home/guest/.config/autostart is as easy to change.
When you not have a rootcopy/ folder, then Ed_P is correct.

Will my approach work with the rootcopy function? Does your approach allow the name of the script to be changed before booting Porteus?

No and No.
But does your approach allow the changing (as in: creating, editing) of the script prior booting Porteus? No it also does not.

I wrote: Can you update your script prior booting Port.
Booting Port via ISO is still booting Port. So the correct answer is: no, you cannot change the script without booting Port.

Ok but actually I can update it without booting Port or the ISO. I plug the USB stick into my Windows system and add/delete/rename the script that way. NO booting needed.
