I'm having decidedly mixed results getting a program to start
consistently from the Gnome Session panel's "Startup Programs" tab. The
program is a shell script which creates a new Phoenix
(Firebird/Firefox/Mozilla/whatever) profile and starts Phoenix with it.
This is for a kiosk-style setup. The script called from Startup Programs
is something like:
sh /opt/vanguard/vanguard_start.sh -CreateProfile vanguard;
sh /opt/vanguard/vanguard_start.sh -P vanguard -chrome \
chrome://vanguard/content/ &
The /opt/vanguard/vanguard_start.sh script is nominally similar to the
/usr/bin/mozilla script, i.e. it "will set up all of the environment
voodoo needed to make mozilla work."
As is, it only starts the browser maybe 1 out of 3 logins. Any thoughts?
