The command to run uGet is:

uget-gtk

To find the command to run a (globally installed) application, simply look into its .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, and look for the first line, starting with Exec=.

In this case, the file is /usr/share/applications/uget-gtk.desktop. To open the file with gedit, drag it over an opened gedit window.

Alternatively
to find the (complete) command, you can make an "educated guess" on what the command should start with, in this case, typing:

uget + Tab

will complete the command into:

uget-gtk

Adding it to Startup Applications

This part you probably already know, but to be complete:
Open Dash > Startup Applications, click on the "Add" button, add the command uget-gtk

If you use Linux mint 19.1 Cinnamon, you can easily add uGet as Startup Application. Just search in the menu.
