How do I start a script at login?

Question

How do you run a script when a user logs in? I have created a script script.sh and used chmod +x to make it executable where would I place the script to make it startup when a user logs in.

Answer 1

The script ~/.profile is executed at each login, you can put your script here.

But be aware that if you login in two different virtual terminals, the script will be executed twice.
