I’ve recently had to do some a project where I needed to launch a specific application on login of user account in an Ubuntu environment and where if it was closed, it would re-open again countless times. This is accomplished with the below –
sudo install -b -m 755 /dev/stdin /opt/autolaunch.sh << EOF
!/bin/bash
xset -dpms
xset s off
while true; do
***APPLICATION COMMAND GOES HERE***
done
EOF
The above installs the script to launch at startup from the location /opt/autolaunch.sh. The first two commands are disabling power saving and the screensaver. The last part is the while loop.
