hi, I want to make a Custom Resolution as Permanent
currently I have a Script FIle which I am running after Every Restart , is there any way that scripts run while startup or after loging in
i think a Automatic Service file is a good Idea but I am not very Familiar with it
here is a Templet I found On internet.

[Unit]
Description=<description_string>

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=<working_directory>
Type=forking
ExecStart=/bin/bash <absolute_path_to_script>
KillMode=process

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

what is a working Directory ?
or any other way will also help

Any help ?

Which desktop environment?

It may be easier to just put your script into: ~/.config/autostart/

At least on KDE, that dir does not work well.

Systemd services work better.

Have a look at these docs, your cherrypicked service is incomplete and misleading. You only need to set the variables you need.

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.service.html

Or

man systemd.service
man systemd.target
man systemd.timer

That’s interesting about KDE.
I forgot about the whole desktop file thing for this …
As an example you would need something like this in ~/.config/autostart

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/bash -c "cmd; next cmd"

or

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/path/to/script/you/would/like/to/run

Another reference if you want to do a systemd service: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/systemd-oneshot-service

Yes the strange workaround on KDE seems to be

  1. Create a .desktop entry like this:
>> cat ~/.config/autostart/fastfetch.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Fastfetch
Exec=/usr/bin/fastfetch
  1. In the KDE settings under “Autostart” enable that

It seems to work, but I still often see “did not run”

Oh sorry I forgot to mention Desktop Env in main post

ITS Gnome

And the script I made is not that effective coz sometimes I have to adjust it to add new mode and sometimes only applying works.

Added gnome, workstation
