Plank startup

How to delay Plank at startup ?

[rocky7x]

Change the startup string to something like this:

Code:

bash -c "sleep 10m && plank"

Check man sleep for other time units...

uff 10 minutes delay ? xD

Yeah the sleep is correct but I would set it so something more reasonable

 yeah I've just copied that from another site in a hurry, indeed 10 minutes is ridiculous    something like 30s would be more appropriate...

i add the plank in the startup setting and add the string from the terninal with 30s. I reeboot maui,but plank showed up right away. Wonder if i did something wrong?

Yeah I think autostart will ignore it if you don't use add it as a script.
Did you add it as a script to autostart ?

Like this one ?
bash -c "sleep 30s && plank"

Yeah I think you need to put this line in a script that starts with

Code:

#!/bin/bash

And this file needs to be executable.

I give up, tried many different ways,(no sure what i am doing) with no luck.

When you just change the startup file in settings, it will get overwritten and set to default again.. therefore just create a text file (for example in Kate) put in it this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
bash -c "sleep 30 && plank"

Save it with extension .sh

Via command line do this:

Code:

chmod 755 file.sh

Add it into startup settings with Add script.
I have dropbox set like this and it works.
