Need to have it attached to a session of some kind for you to actually be able to see something, maybe in your .profile, with a test for whether it's already running. I'm not sure what kind of .profile-like action takes place when your X session starts, but that's where it probably needs to be.<br>

</div>That's a good option too -- just fire off the script from inside your session as part of the login process. It's not like you need cron to do time-of-day scheduling or anything.<br>
