Article Synopsis

Previously, we discussed running scripts at startup and on a repeating schedule. This month, we'll look at running scripts as part of the login and logout process, both with root privileges, and as the user logging in. We'll also consider scripts that should run only once, either at startup or login. Finally, we'll look at some methods to simplify implementing additional scripts once you have a few working.
