How to make my python executable to run on startup in fedora 23?

I have used pyinstaller to make my script executable and now I want it to run on every login/startup. The gnome tweak tool is not listing my executable. How can I achieve this?

Solution

  • You are asking 3 questions here. Startup and login are not the same.

    1) To have a script run on login you might add it to .bash_profile (hidden file in your user's home directory): https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/35263/execute-shell-script-at-login/

    2) To have the script run on startup (boot) you may choose to create an /etc/rc.local file (https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/26898/what-is-the-auto-start-file-like-rclocal/)
    make sure it is executable:

    chmod +x /etc/rc.local

    enable the service:

    systemctl enable rc-local.service

    3) Run 'gnome-session-properties' and add your script there.
