I you want to auto start a program (or script) in ubuntu Linux at bootup by creating a symbolic link to that program (or script) in the
~/.config/autostart folder.
For example, to start Firefox at bootup, create a symbolic link:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox ~/.config/autostart

nice information....
Good tip. But I assume you mean "login", not "boot-up".
Also, why use "sudo" to make the link?
This did not work for me in Ubuntu 10.04. It created the link, but when I reboot and check it with "ps -ef|grep program_name" it does not show the script running.
